Invitation to Philippine NGOs for Association with the The
NGO Relations Cluster of the Department of Public Information,
continues its active campaign to diversify the geographical
representation of the NGOs associated with the Department. The United Nations DPI/NGO Conference is the premier non-governmental organization event at the United Nations. It will be the first time Australia hosts a United Nations event of this size and only the third time that the DPI/NGO Conference has been held outside of United Nations Headquarters. Each year this Conference brings together hundreds of non-governmental organization representatives from around the world to focus on a topic of interest related to the work of civil society and non-governmental organizations in collaboration with the United Nations. The 2009 Conference took place in Mexico City and focused on disarmament. The 2010 Conference will focus on global health as it relates to the Millennium Development Goals, an issue of importance to both the Government of Australia and the non-governmental community. Health issues are central to the Millennium Development Goals, which have been internationally accepted as the road map for development. Some of the key issues addressed by the Millennium Development Goals include Goal 4, reducing child mortality; Goal 5, improving maternal health; and Goal 6, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. As host city, Melbourne, will showcase many of Australia’s premier medical, neuroscience and biotechnology research institutions. It is one of the great multicultural cities of the world and has always been an important meeting place for events of social, educational and cultural significance. For
