How to request to make an oral statement:

The NGO Branch of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is pleased to announce an open call for oral statements for the 2012 ECOSOC High Level Segment (HLS) for NGOs in ECOSOC consultative status. The HLS will include sessions on the Annual Ministerial Review (AMR).

The theme for the AMR segment this year will focus on "Promoting productive capacity, employment and decent work to eradicate poverty in the context of inclusive, sustainable and equitable economic growth at all levels for achieving the MDGs". The HLS will be held on 2-9 July 2012 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

In accordance with ECOSOC resolution 1996/31 and at the recommendation of ECOSOC Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations with approval of ECOSOC, organizations in general and special consultative status are encouraged to make oral presentations to the Council.

Please note that while all NGOs in consultative status are invited to attend to this event, the United Nations will not provide financial assistance for travel and/or accommodation expenses of the NGO Representatives. Due to a high volume of organizations requesting to speak at the event, we are unable to guarantee your participation. The authority to decide on the list of speakers will be vested in the President of ECOSOC
