Uniqueness
With communication technologies advancing at a tremendous rate, electronic information centres, online research organizations and specialized e-networks are becoming increasingly common and duplicative. UNPAN is different. Its substantive capacity and specialized service combine to create a uniqueness that sets UNPAN apart from conventional web-based information sources. The one feature that is most unusual about UNPAN is its universality as an online public sector policy and management information and knowledge network. UNPAN offers:
- Access to regional experience in the practice of public policy development and management at the regional, national and local levels;
- Capacity-building and south-south cooperation in information and knowledge management;
- Ease of access to worldwide information in all areas of public sector policy and management;
- Demand-driven and interactive two-way provider of information and knowledge network.
UNPAN is a dynamic process and not a static outcome which aims at responding to the needs of its users and addresses their most critical areas of work.

Famous quotes containing the word uniqueness:
“Until now when we have started to talk about the uniqueness of America we have almost always ended by comparing ourselves to Europe. Toward her we have felt all the attraction and repulsions of Oedipus.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
