As the most important intergovernmental organization in the world, the UN has to deal with a variety of global development-related topics, such as administrative support to governments. To ensure accurate administrative support, the UN needs to conduct in-depth research, compile facts and evidence, and propose policy solutions to specific issues in a country or region. Therefore, learning to write policy proposals can help students to improve their academic and professional skills.
