I’d very much appreciate if you would have a look, the most relevant objective to Commons is: *2. Make content from the archives of UNESCO and its partners available on Wikimedia projects:* This project will facilitate the*upload of 30,000 images, audio files, videos, data and other content* to Wikimedia projects from UNESCO archives http://photobank.unesco.org/exec/index.htm?lang=en (24,000 images), UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) http://www.uis.unesco.org/Pages/default.aspx and other sources including *10 organisations changing their content license to be Wikimedia compatible*, a completed pilot project is outlined in the Goal section.

I ran a pilot project that resulted in the images found in the Wikimedia Commons category Images from the archive of UNESCO https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_the_archive_of_UNESCO, here are a few examples:
