Applications are open to speak at President of UNGA’s High-level Meeting on”Financing for SDGs — Breaking the Bottlenecks of Investment, from Policy to Impact”. On 11 June 2018, the President of the UN General Assembly will convene a one-day high-level meeting to address the challenges and bottlenecks that block the private investment towards SDG sectors and elaborate the role of the UN in strengthening public-private partnerships.

The meeting will also provide an opportunity for relevant actors to showcase and share best practices of scaling up investment in SDG sectors. The meeting will comprise an opening segment, presentations and four panel discussions. It will be closed with panel reports and a short closing ceremony.

Funding

  • For selected respondents, travel funding will be available from the UN to support the participation of the selected stakeholder respondents in this meeting.
  • The selected respondents will need to make their own visa arrangements, if needed for travel to the US, and cover the cost of the visa.

  • has a visa for travel to New York, or is able to obtain one for travel to New York without assistance from the UN. Please check with the US Embassy or Consulate in the candidate’s country or place of residence.
 UN-NGLS will facilitate a stakeholder Selection Committee for the evaluation and short-listing of the candidates for the respondent speaking roles to be presented to OPGA for their consideration.
