Accredited CSO
Civil society organizations
The UNCCD COP recognizes that the involvement and participation of the civil society is vital to the successful implementation of this Convention. It therefore welcomes the contribution of CSOs, with particular regard to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), to the official meetings of the UNCCD.
Representatives from CSOs that are accredited to the COP may directly participate in the UNCCD secretariat’s sessions. At these sessions CSOs are consulted on United Nation’s policy and programme matters. They also play key roles at major United Nations conferences as indispensable partners for efforts at the country level. Below are the current accredited CSO's to the Convention.
Good Governance Protection Forum (GGPF) is a Nepal-based civil society organization, advancing land degradation neutrality, drought resilience and sustainable land management. We mobilize youth and communities, promote gender-responsive governance, support policy advocacy, capacity building and local restoration projects, and generate evidence for inclusive, transparent implementation of UNCCD commitments in Nepal.
