Global Organizing Partners

NGO Major Group

Dear NGO Major Group,

I’m sending this follow-up email to clarify a point.

As I mentioned in my previous email, 6 positions will be elected: 2 Global OPs, and 4 Regional OPs: Europe (1), South America (1), Central Asia (1), and Middle East (1).

Other OP positions are not announced this year because the periods are ongoing: 1 Global OP (Lani), Eastern Africa (Henry), Northern Africa (Ayman), Southern Africa (Joseph), Western (Kofi), North America (Kekhashan), Caribbean (Donovan/Joseph), Pacific (Emeline). These positions continue during 2024.

As per the ToR, page 15 para 42: “The Organizing Partner terms will be staggered. In odd years, the terms of office of two global OPs, up to 4 regional OPs and up to 3 Thematic Cluster Coordinators will expire. In even years, the terms of office of one global OP, up to 4 regional OPs and up to 2 Thematic Cluster Coordinators will expire. This will help achieve continuity and capacity building for new Organizing Partners.”

Here is the form for the available positions: https://forms.gle/UVbGVgJTdHwW9rEM6 The application deadline is Sunday 21st January at 23:59 NYC time. Please read carefully the application information before applying.

Warmly,

Lani
