As seating is limited, to ensure the broadest possible participation in the high-level meeting:
- Each organization that received accreditation or is in consultative status with ECOSOC may register up to 2 participants.
- Due to space limitations and strict security measures during the UN General Assembly, each registrant must choose to attend either the opening, plenary and closing session in Conference Room 4 or the two consecutive multi-stakeholder panels which will take place in the ECOSOC Chamber (this does not apply to representatives of Member States, UN Organizations and Observers of the General Assembly).
- Please note that participants will only have the opportunity to make interventions in the multi-stakeholder panels (this does not apply to representatives of Member States and Observers of the General Assembly).
The UN High-Level Meeting on TB will consist of an opening segment, a plenary segment, two consecutive multi-stakeholder panels (held in parallel to the plenary) and a closing segment. Those who select the multi-stakeholder panels will not be able to participate in the opening and the closing of the meeting, except via online webcast.
More information on the planned programme can be found in UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/72/268.
