CSEND is based in Geneva, a city recognised for its international character in a country with a strong tradition of international cooperation. It is an ideal setting for working closely with United Nations Agencies, yet it is also quite close to Switzerland's federal capital, Berne.

In Geneva, many languages and cultures blend. CSEND, a not-for-profit foundation/NGO is a mirror of that diversity with its multi-ethnic, multi-disciplinary and multinational staff.
