How to Apply for ad hoc accreditation for your organisation

Accreditation is a process that is issued to organisations to allow them to participate in UN-Habitat intergovernmental meetings as observers. These meetings include the UN-Habitat Assembly, the Executive Board, and the Committee of Permanent Representatives.

Accreditation is important because, it provides an opportunity for organisations to contribute to the policy-making process of the UN-Habitat and share their expertise.

Major Groups and other stakeholders can apply for accreditation to UN-Habitat intergovernmental meetings. The criteria for accreditation vary depending on the type of accreditation the organisation already holds, or a lack of.

Organisations that are in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) or accredited to Habitat II and Habitat III, are only required to write to
unhabitat-partners@un.org requesting for automatic accreditation.

Organisations that do not fall in the above three categories should apply for ad hoc accreditation.

Please follow the steps below to complete your application for ad hoc accreditation.

  1. Profile registration

You must register with your personal profile first before you can apply for accreditation on behalf of your organisation. It is important to note the name of your organisation must match as is to the name on its registration certificate issued by your country.

Please register here.

After you complete the registration process you will receive an email with the login details for you to proceed with the application for accreditation.

  1. Applying for accreditation of the organisation

Application for accreditation is submitted online by filling a form and submitting required documents. Currently the online application is accepted in English only.

  1. Signed letter requesting accreditation on the organisation’s letterhead
