United Nations Networking Group (UNNG)
UNNG's mission is to connect, empower, and mobilize diaspora leaders, youth, and partners to collaborate on humanitarian, development, and policy-informed initiatives aligned with the United Nations' global priorities, with a focus on Africa, the Caribbean, and underserved communities worldwide.
UNGA 2025 & Beyond
The United Nations Networking Group (UNNG), also known as UNGA 2025 & Beyond, is a collaborative platform that brings together diaspora leaders, youth advocates, professionals, and humanitarian partners committed to advancing global development, equity, and sustainable solutions.
UNNG serves as a space for dialogue, capacity building, and action, bridging grassroots realities with global policy conversations connected to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The group emphasizes youth engagement, diaspora leadership, humanitarian response, education, economic empowerment, and cross-regional collaboration across Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond.
Through meetings, knowledge sharing, book clubs, events, awards, and strategic initiatives, UNNG fosters meaningful partnerships and supports inclusive participation in global conversations and opportunities. The group is guided by principles of integrity, collaboration, service, and shared responsibility, working collectively to turn ideas into impact and vision into action.
