Key Messages From Non-State Actors and Inclusivity Committee (All Clusters)

The Non-State Actors and Inclusivity Committee of the ACS-2 is constituted as a functional structure of the ACS-2 by both the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, with the guiding principle of leaving no one behind. Specifically, it seeks to strengthen the participation of all non-state actors, enhance accessibility measures, integrate knowledge, and improve protocols for inclusive participation and safeguards.

To spearhead this mandate, 16 clusters were established, comprising:

1. Women’s Movements

2. Youth Movements

3. Agriculture and Food Security

4. Labour Movements

5. Private Sector and Financial Institutions

6. Indigenous Peoples / Local Communities

7. Faith Actors

8. Human Rights, Democracy and Climate Governance

12. Climate and Environmental NGOs

13. Biodiversity Conservation & Locally-Led Solutions

14. People With Disabilities

15. Peace, Climate Security & Migration (conflicts, displaced persons, refugees)
