What is a LESA?


Local Spouse Networks (LESA) are similar to other local expatriate associations and may be formal or informal groups of spouses of UN System Staff members, joining forces to network and support each other. 


LESAs are independent and can maintain open membership. Whilst the UN supports the establishment of a LESA, the network is not part of the UN System. In some duty stations designated UN Human Resources (HR) Focal Points provide support services to spouses and partners.
