United Nations Deputy Secretary-General declares 2024 UN Civil Society Conference “a Testament To The Strong Voice 0f Civil Society,” At The Opening Session In Nairobi

The Department of Global Communications had never organized a conference of this size, which had attracted such a high level of interest, in such a short period of time.  Over 3,600 civil society representatives from 2,750 entities had registered, along with around 400 representatives of 64 governments, seven International Governmental Organizations (IGOs), 37 United Nations entities and over 100 media reporters.  70 percent of those registered were from Africa and 40 percent of all registrations were youth, in the age group 18 to 34.  Mr. Nasser hoped the expectations from the Conference would be achieved.
