QUNO NY Representative Kavita Desai, as a co-chair of the Transparency, Accountability & Participation (TAP) Network #SDG16Now campaign spoke at pre-UN General Assembly webinar.

In addition to the information and analysis shared by speakers, QUNO Representative Kavita provided an overview of upcoming engagement opportunities throughout the year ahead including a review of the UN’s peacebuilding architecture and a process on financing for development.
