SUMMARY:Two years after the death of George Floyd: Antiracism\, #BLM and the United Nations
DESCRIPTION:As people continue to challenge the systemic racism that has devalued the lives of Black and Brown people globally\, many are asking the question: why do some of these tragic events spark a stronger call for change than others? \nFloyd’s murder also revived the concept of antiracism. The webinar will explore\, in practice\, what it means to be antiracist. Participants will also be invited to reflect on the role played by Christian nationalism in reinforcing white supremacy and racial subjugation\, thereby fueling racism\, xenophobia and racial discrimination. \nAs a follow up of its 1 June 2021 webinar marking the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre\, the World Council of Churches Commission of the Churches on International Affairs will host this webinar on the sides of the 30th session of the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent\, which will be taking place in New York city\, USA\, from 23 to 27 May 2022. \nSpeakers: \nModerator: Rev. Chebon Kernell\, ordained elder in the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference \n\nGaynel D. Curry\, member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent\nRt. Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton\, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America\nRev. Dr. Leah Gunning Francis\, vice president for Academic Affairs and dean of the Faculty at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis\nProf. Gay McDougall\, member of the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD)\n\nRegister here to join this webinar live on Wednesday\, 25 May\, 3:30 pm CEST / 9:30am EST. \n_________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.

DESCRIPTION:Gender equality: Why is it important and what can we do to achieve it? \nFULL COMMITTEE MEETING \nUNITED NATIONS\nVIENNA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE\nMonday May 9th 2022\n[Due to the Pandemic Development the FCM will be held as a Zoom Conference] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINTERNATIONAL FORUM [13.00 – 15.00 CEST]  \nGender equality: Why is it important and what can we do to achieve it? \n Prof. Zoe Lefkofridi\, Mag. MA MAIS Dr  \nDr Nadine Zwiener-Collins \nChair of Politics & Gender\, Diversity & Equality Paris Lodron University Salzburg  \nIncluding Discussion with Presenter & Participants\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGender equality is a United Nations sustainable development goal (No 5)\, a core value of the European Union\, and a target for many governments\, companies and organisations. But why is gender equality so important? Research has documented that gender equality leads to happier\, healthier\, and more democratic societies: It can help tackle the gender health gap resulting from a lack of research on conditions that predominantly affect women and the dangers of childbirth in many parts of the world. In the economic sphere\, gender equality helps boost performance\, as women’s equal participation is associated with increased profits for companies and with an increase in Gross Domestic Product. In addition\, equality in the political sphere has benefits for good governance. Not only is an equal opportunity to participate the core principle of democracy\, but equal participation and representation of women also decreases corruption and increases citizens’ satisfaction with democracy and the legitimacy of the political system. Finally\, gender equality matters for the individual: For example\, it improves family life\, and gender-equal societies consist of happier and healthier individuals. \nIn their presentation on gender equality\, Prof Zoe Lefkofridi and Dr Nadine Zwiener-Collins of the Chair of Politics & Gender\, Diversity & Equality at the University of Salzburg reflect on the importance of gender equality for different areas of society\, and highlight how gender equality benefits everyone. In the subsequent discussion\, they invite the participants to share and reflect on their own experiences\, and to join the discussion of what we can do to achieve gender equality. \nProfessor Zoe Lefkofridi\, Mag.

SUMMARY:Exploring Digital Finance's Real Promises and Challenges for Development
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Digital Finance’s Real Promises and Challenges for Development \nJoin the NGO Committee on Financing for Development on Wednesday\, 27 April 2022\, 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. EDT for this official side event to the 2022 ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qc-6orjsuGdFhyWHfljp7ZNxV526Onoc7 \nSpeakers: \n\nMs. Cina Lawson\, Minister of Digital Economy and Transformation of the Republic of Togo (TBC)\nDr. Purva Khera\, Economist\, International Monetary Fund\nMr. Johannes Ehrentraud\, Senior Advisor\, Financial Stability Institute\, Bank for International Settlements\nMs. Sofie Blakstad\, CEO of hiveonline and author of Fintech Revolution: Universal Inclusion in the New Financial Ecosystem\nMs. Anneleen Vos\, Seionr Economic Policy Officer\, International Rescue Committee\nMr. Prabhat Labh\, CEO\, Grameen Foundation India\nMs. Mercy Buku\, Program Leader\, Toronto Center\n\nModerator: Mx. Anita Thomas\, Chair\, NGO Committee on FfD\, Representative to the UN\, Women First International Fund \nCo-sponsors: ManUp Campaign\, Change Management Solutions\, Sisters of Charity Foundation\, African Development Interchange Network\, IBVM \nBackground: \nThe UN Secretary General’s task force on digital finance in its report titled “People’s Money: Harnessing Digitalization to Finance a Sustainable Future\,” spells out the transformational impact digital finance can have on sustainable development. Providing relief for millions around the world\, supporting businesses\, and protecting jobs and livelihoods\, digital finance served as a lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic. A World Bank tally of policy responses to the pandemic finds that at least 58 governments in developing countries used digital payments to deliver COVID-19 relief\, of which 36 countries made payments into fully transactional accounts that were being used for saving beyond simply withdrawing cash. According to the GSMA\, international remittances processed via mobile money increased by 65 percent in 2020. \nProponents of digital finance highlight its strong capabilities to reduce transaction costs\, the potential of Artificial Intelligence to provide fair and equitable treatment of credit applicants\, and the scalability of cloud technology\, through the use of blockchain technology\, to allow consumers to transact remotely and seamlessly across multiple platforms. \nWhile the experience of COVID-19 has proven that digitalization can transform economies and lives\, it needs to be shaped with both its advantages and potential risks in mind in order to bring everyone into the digital age. For technology to benefit everyone\, private sector innovation must be supported by the appropriate public goods such as the public provision of foundational infrastructure\, access to electricity\, mobile and internet coverage. \nAs in the case of any disruptive technology\, without combining technological advances with sound policy measures\, digital technology cannot deliver on its potential to meaningfully advance financial inclusion for everyone\, including the more than 2 billion unbanked people globally. Delivering on promises to advance financial inclusion can only be considered meaningful when the account holder has a fully functional account that they utilize to save\, make payments\, obtain manageable credit\, and mitigate economic risks and is simply not utilized to withdraw cash from cash transfers from the government\, which is overwhelmingly the case at this time. \nBy examining successful strategies that maximize digital finance’s potential while minimizing risks to the financial sector\, government revenues\, and at-risk populations\, attendees will gain a better understanding of how digital finance can sustainably advance development objectives. \n_______________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Financing for Development is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.

SUMMARY:Financing for Universal and Crisis-Responsive Social Protection and Decent Work: Proposals of 2021 UN Inter-Agency Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the NGO Committee on Financing for Development on Tuesday\, April 26\, from 8 – 9:30am EST for an official side event of the 2022 ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum on Financing for Universal and Crisis-Responsive Social Protection and Decent Work: Proposals of 2021 UN Inter-Agency Working Group \nSpeakers: \n\nH.E. Mr. Phillippe Kridelka\, Ambassador\, Permanent Representative of Belgium to the United Nations\nMr. Helmut Schwarzner\, Senior Social Security Specialist for the Americas\, Social Protection Department\, ILO Geneva\nMr. David Stewart\, Chief of Child Strategy and Social Protection\, UNICEF\nDr. Santosh Mehrotra\, Research Fellow\, IZA Institute of Labor Economics\, Bonn\, Germany\nMs. Tikhala Itaye\, Director\, Global Movement Building\, Women in Global Health\n\nModerator: Dr. Barry Herman\, Member Advisory Board\, Social Justice in Global Development \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsfuqqrjwiHtLVutntuRo0xgsa9K_vEKxP \nCo-sponsors: Vivat International\, Women First International Fund\, Salesian Missions\, International Labour Organization\, World Vision\, Social Justice in Global Development \nBackground: Social protection refers to assuring a basic income floor and access to basic healthcare throughout the life cycle. It should be provided universally to all people in need\, but that is far from current practice. While decent jobs\, including self-employment\, are mainly in the private economy\, meeting the qualifications for most jobs usually requires education and good health\, which are primarily public service functions. Thus\, programs to promote social protection and decent jobs entail adequate\, effective\, and fair national systems of taxation\, complemented by international assistance\, often in the form of technical assistance but also sometimes in aid-financed budget support\, as for low-income countries. \nThe experience of the pandemic laid bare inadequate systems to deliver cash transfers to compensate for the economic costs of the crisis and inadequate public health systems to deliver vaccines\, tests\, and protective equipment\, along with the very limited capacity\, especially in developing countries\, to maintain employment during the crisis-induced economic contraction. The pandemic experience requires us to think about preparing better “shock responsive” social protection and health systems and stronger counter-cyclical policies. Preparation\, in turn\, requires consideration of ways to mobilize the necessary domestic and international financial resources on an ongoing basis and with the capacity to meet the higher expenditure needs at times of crisis. \nWhile the inter-agency report concluded with 21 separate proposals\, speakers in the side event will be asked to discuss one or more of the proposals. There is no expectation that all 21 proposals would be covered\, nor is that necessary. What is necessary is to bring the attention of the FfD Follow-up Forum for consideration by policymakers the work of the 16 cooperating agencies in the task force and the civil society\, labor\, employer\, and youth stakeholders that were consulted in preparing the report. \n______________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Financing for Development is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.

Esta reunión de lanzamiento mundial de tres horas establecerá conexiones entre el trabajo emergente del Nexo de Acción Feminista y la incidencia y el activismo de los movimientos feministas en todo el mundo\, particularmente en el Sur global/económico. \nComenzando con una base en el marco conceptual del Nexo de Acción Feminista\, esta sesión de estrategia incluirá grupos de trabajo de todas las regiones y áreas temáticas. Como resultados\, el evento producirá colectivamente un mapeo políticos de los próximos eventos y procesos y un borrador de estrategia de promoción para el Nexo de Acción Feminista\, incluida la publicación de informes de incidencia y un mecanismo de rendición de cuentas antes de finales del 2022. \nEvento: Nexo de Acción Feminista para la Justicia Económica y Climática: Lanzamiento Global \nFecha: martes\, 12 abril\, 2022 \nHora: 7AM-10AM México DF; 8AM-11AM Nueva York; 15:00-18:00 East Africa; 17:30-20:30 New Delhi; 19:00-22:00 Bangkok; vea su zona horaria aquí. \nDónde: Zoom (Regístrese aquí) \nAccesibilidad: Habrá interpretación simultánea en inglés\, francés y español.

Cette réunion mondiale de lancement de trois heures établira des liens entre le travail émergent du Nexus d’action et le plaidoyer et l’activisme des mouvements féministes à travers le monde\, en particulier dans le Sud global/économique. \nCommençant par une mise à la terre dans le cadre conceptuel du Nexus d’action\, cette séance de stratégie axée sur l’action comprendra des groupes de discussion dans les régions et les domaines d’intérêt. Comme résultats\, l’événement produira collectivement une carte politique des événements et processus à venir et un projet de stratégie de plaidoyer pour le Nexus d’action\, y compris la publication de notes de plaidoyer et un mécanisme de responsabilisation avant la fin de 2022. \nÉvénement : Le nexus d’action féministe pour la justice économique et climatique : lancement mondial \nDate : mardi 12 avril 2022 \nHeure : 7h-10h Mexico DF ; 8h-11h New York ; 15h-18h Afrique de l’Est ; 17h30-20h30 New Delhi ; 19h-22h Bangkok ; convertir en votre fuseau horaire ici \nOù : Zoom (Inscrivez-vous ici) \nAccessibilité : L’interprétation simultanée sera assurée en anglais\, français et espagnol.
