Guidelines For The 2nd Call For Membership of The Stakeholders' Chamber
Guidelines For The 2nd Call For Membership of The Stakeholders' Chamber
I. Background
The initial call for membership for the Stakeholders’ Chamber during the first
quarter of the year 2022 resulted into the admission of forty-two (42) member
stakeholders. These stakeholders range from non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs), to private businesses and
conglomerates, and media partners. Acknowledging that there is a wider gamut of
development actors working on the SDGS, the Subcommittee on the SDGs will
launch a 2nd call for membership applications for the Stakeholders’ Chamber that
will focus on underrepresented sectors based on the demographics of the
Philippines and the United Nations Major Groups and Other Stakeholders system.
III. Eligibility
• Trade unions
• Micro small and medium enterprises > PCCI & ECOP Members
Meanwhile, this 2nd call for membership for the Stakeholders’ Chamber remains
open for the following interested groups from already represented sectors of the
chamber but is subject to consideration.
