United Nations 56th Session of the Commission for Social Development
United Nations 56th Session ofthe Commission for Social Development
Dear Participants,
An important feature of our new online event registration system
Indico is that it allows each ECOSOC accredited NGO to designate up to two (2) Conference Focal
Points, who will review the individual registrations of members
of their organization for all events that use the platform. While each
representative will register through their own individual Indico account, the
Conference Focal Points can review and approve/reject their own
organization’s participants. This allows for improved coordination and
validation of registrations.
In order for your organization’s registrations to be processed in
Indico, you MUST designate at least one Conference Focal Point (preferably two
for backup). This is done through your organization’s profile in the Integrated
Civil Society Organisations System (iCSO). Please designate your Conference Focal Points as soon as possible to avoid delays which may
prevent your organization from participating in events hosted at UN
Headquarters in New York.
NGO Participation
- UNDESA DSPD facilitates the participation of NGOs in
the sessions of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD). NGOs that
are accredited to and in good standing with the United Nations Economic
and Social Council (ECOSOC) may designate representatives to attend the
annual sessions of the CSocD. Learn more about the UN ECOSOC accreditation.
- Modalities of NGO participation and Registration. The
deadline is 16 January 2018.
This year, we are using a new platform for managing NGO registration to meetings and events at United Nations Headquarters in New York. The platform is called Indico, and it will be replacing the registration functionality of the current system, CSO Net. - Before you start registration, please view our quick
guides on:
- How to get started with Indico and
- How to designate your organization’s Conference Focal
Points and approve registrations
- Please note: After you have registered for CSocD56 via
Indico, your organization’s conference focal point needs to approve your
CSocD registration in Indico. Once your registration has been approved by
your organization, you will receive a confirmation letter via email. You
will need to print out and show your confirmation letter to obtain a UN
grounds pass for CSocD.
- NGO Written Statements. The deadline is now CLOSED.
- Online Application Form for Side Events. The deadline
is 1 December 2017.
- Opportunities for NGOs to address the Commission. The
deadline is 3 December 2017.
