Dear colleagues,
Since November 2018, OHCHR and UN-Women have been working to better understand and to strengthen the UN’s engagement with civil society organizations.
Between April-May 2019 OHCHR and UN Women conducted a UN-wide online survey.
In total, 100 responses were received: 32 HQ and 68 field entities (57 UN Country Teams and 11 Peace Missions).
The UN will be organizing online consultations with civil society organizations on the issue of civic space from 13 to 24 January 2020 on the Global Dev Hub platform.
Please find enclosed more information in English, French, Chinese, Russian and Spanish.
We would be grateful if you could distribute this call for participation as widely as possible within your CSO network.
With kind regards,
