Learning To Speak UN

I've realised in my attempts to write blog posts free from piles of jargon, just how many technical terms, acronyms and random words are used in UN processes. I apologise for where I've used them in the past, and I hope this post will help as a reference guide to understand just what the hell I'm talking about sometimes. Here's my list of terms frequently used by WAGGGS delegates:

1. WAGGGS (pronounced: 'wags') - I really should start with this for any none Girlguiding/Girl Scout readers. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is the umbrella organisation for guides and girl scouts across 125ish countries and with around 10 million members worldwide. This is the organisation that has given me the fantstic opportunities to be at UN events. 
2. UNGA - This is the United Nations General Assembly, the highest level forum of the UN. It meets annually in New York, with things kicking off in September. It is primarily focused on the governments of countries talking to each other and involvement from civil society is more limited.
3. ECOSOC (pronounced: 'eco-sock') - The Economic and Social Council of the UN is a different forum, where a lot more engagement possibilities for civil society organisations. It is the body of the UN that gives organisations 'consultative status' allowing representatives to get the shiny blue passes for UN buildings. 
4. Civil Society - Anyone who isn't a national government or part of the UN itself, pretty much. Includes things like charities, campaign groups, trade unions, city and district governments, companies and corporations, individuals etc.
5. MDGs - The Millennium Development Goals are a series of eight goals decided on back in the year 2000. They focused of issues around extreme poverty, education and health with mention of the environment. They were thought up by 'experts' and not formally adopted by nation states, so not binding.
6. Post-2015 - The MDGs expire in 2015 and we've begun the process to think up the next big development agenda to follow it. The aim is to bring together several different UN processes around the environment, poverty, and human well-being to create one united agenda.
7. ICPD - This was the International Conference on Population and Development that took place in Cairo in 1994. It set out a programme to work on health and well-being and other development topics, which expires in 2014. It is hoped the themes from this area will be combined into the Post-2015 process.
8. Rio/Rio+20 - The Rio Earth Summit in 1992, and subsequent 20 year anniversary conference on sustainable development in 2012, have really led the UN processes on considering the environment in development. The SDGs were proposed by Columbia as the way forward at the 2012 Rio+20 conference.
9. OWG on SDGs - The Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals is a series of 8 meetings running from Jan 2013 to Feb 2014 looking at different themes that might be considered in a set of goals for post-2015. The chair of this group will then write a report ready for the UN General Assembly to really consider making these part of the Post-2015 framework in their 2014/15 session.
10. MGCY and WMG - The outcome of the first Rio summit in 1992 set out a mechanism for civil society engagement known as the Major Groups. Through WAGGGS I have participated in the Major Group of Children and Youth, the Women's Major Group and the Non-governmental Organisations Major Group in Rio, and here in New York. There are six more groups covering areas like farmers, trade unions, private sector, indigenous people's, local government and more.
