The Commitment Chart

A Work in Progress

For the Special Session, the Steering Group of the NGO Committee on UNICEF organized a 'live' up-to-the-minute Commitment Chart to track the pledges of governments, NGOs and other non-state participants as they were announced at the Special Session. Projected on a screen in the exhibit, or 'neck' area of the UN basement, near several key conference rooms, the chart ran continuously and was regularly updated as new commitments were reported.

Over 20 government commitments were captured and many NGOs brought their own commitments to be included. The NGO Committee on UNICEF is planning to work further on the chart and disseminate it widely to NGOs with the hope and expectation that it will serve as a monitoring and advocacy tool to gather new commitments and chart the progress of NPAs.
