Step 1: Accreditation

Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Status with ECOSOC

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in consultative status with ECOSOC (Special, General, or Roster consultative status) may participate in the FFD4 process. You can check if your organization has consultative status here: United Nations Civil Society Participation – Consultative status

Civil Society Organizations with Special Accreditation or Previously Accredited to International Conferences on Financing for Development

The list of organizations that have:

Can be viewed here.

Organizations that have received special accreditation will be invited to register individuals to attend the FFD4 Conference soon.

The accreditation window closed on 21 February 2025. Kindly be reminded that accreditation to other UN Conferences (e.g., COP) does not transfer to FFD4.

Civil Society Self-Coordination

Over the years, many Civil Society Organizations interested in the intergovernmental process on financing for development have voluntarily joined the Civil Society FfD Mechanism.

In New York, many organizations have chosen to self-organize through the NGO Committee on FfD.

The Civil Society FfD Mechanism is also organizing a Civil Society Forum the weekend before the FFD4 Conference in Sevilla, which will take place on 28-29 June 2025. Click here for more information.
