We are pleased to announce that the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) at its Coordination and Management Session of April 2017 adopted the recommendation of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to grant Special Consultative status to our organization, Kids & Teens Resource Centre (K&TRC). The journey to achieving this began in 2013 and we return all glory to God for its successful outcome.
It may please the general public to know that this special consultative status will enable us to actively engage with ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations Secretariat, programs, funds and agencies in a number of ways. Such as opportunities to request the Secretary-General, through the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, to place items of special interest in the provisional agenda of the Council.
It will also entitle K&TRC access to the United Nations and attendance to meetings and as well as to designate official representatives to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the United Nations offices in Geneva and Vienna, conferences and activities of the United Nations and organizations in general.
In addition, this status will enable K&TRC the opportunity to designate authorized representatives to sit as observers at public meetings of ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, General Assembly, Human Rights Council and other United Nations intergovernmental decision-making bodies.
Consequently, in special consultative status, K&TRC is able to submit written statements relevant to the work of the Council on subjects in which we have special competences. These statements may be circulated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations to the members of the Council and Commissions and other subsidiary bodies of ECOSOC may consult with us due to this Special consultative status.
This status will also offer K&TRC access to use of United Nations facilities, accommodation for conferences or smaller meetings related to work of ECOSOC, access to United Nations press documentation services, use of United Nations libraries.
We thereby use this medium to express our gratitude to the NGO branch of the department of Economic and Social Affairs and most especially our dedicated followers who have supported our vision from early conception in 2002. We are grateful to the Society for AIDS in Africa, ActionAid Nigeria, International HIV & AIDS Alliance, USAID/Pact Nigeria, Society for Family Health, Association for Reproductive and Family Health, Action Health Inc., and numerous others for their technical support.
