  • Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Guidance for Parallel Reports

    In preparation for Beijing + 25 in 2020, NGOs and civil society stakeholders must have their own
    independent process to report on progress made, challenges and recommendations. The purpose
    of these NGO Guidelines for Parallel Reports is to provide a common template for NGOs to use
    for country (city or state) reports. NGOs should adapt it to suit their local contexts and feel free to
    change it as needed. Although many questions are drawn from UN Women’s official Guidelines
    for governments, these are adapted to reflect NGO and civil society perspectives.
