How to Participate in the FFD4 Conference
Participation requires a two-step process. First, organizations must verify their accreditation status. Second, to attend the Conference, accredited organizations can register their authorized representatives. Please note that accreditation to other UN processes (e.g., COP) does NOT transfer to FFD4.
Draft Information Note for Participants (advance unedited)
- STEP 1: DETERMINE IF YOUR ORGANIZATION IS ACCREDITED
What is accreditation?
Accreditation is the official process that allows institutions to become eligible to access and participate in the Conference. Please note that accreditation to other UN processes (e.g., COP) does NOT transfer to FFD4.
How can I check if my organization is accredited?
Stakeholder organizations may have received special accreditation or may be in consultative status with ECOSOC, please click below to check whether your organization is accredited to FFD4:
Special Accreditation Consultative Status with ECOSOC
I am a government official, staff member of the United Nations system, representative of an IGO. Is my entity accredited?
Note that many categories of institutions are automatically accredited to the FFD process:
- Member States of the United Nations and Associate Members of the Regional Commissions
- United Nations organizations
- Specialized Agencies and Related Organizations
- Organizations in consultative status with ECOSOC
- Organizations that have already received special accreditation to participate in the International Conferences on Financing for Development
- Intergovernmental organization with observer status at the UN General Assembly

I do not belong to any organization. Can I attend?
You cannot attend the Conference or the sessions of the Preparatory Committee as an individual. Participants must be associated with an accredited organization. Accredited organizations will be able to register their authorized representatives for each session of the Preparatory Committee in New York and the main Conference in Spain.
