WOYA hosted official side events at both conferences. A. UN 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) - Seville, Spain | June 30-July 3, 2025 WOYA attended FfD4 under its UN Special Accreditation. 12 delegates were selected, nominated, and approved by the UN to participate under WOYA's special accreditation. Delegates also participated in the International Business Forum running alongside FfD4. The conference concluded with the adoption of the Sevilla Commitment - the first inter-governmental financing for development framework since 2015, addressing a $4 trillion annual SDG financing gap. WOYA's participation centered on amplifying marginalized and Global South voices in global financing architecture reform. Delegation & expense arrangement: * 12 delegates approved by the UN under WOYA Special Accreditation * Delegates from the Global North and Global South. WOYA covered accommodation costs for delegates from Global South. * All delegate flight costs: covered by delegates themselves - recognized but NOT claimed by WOYA * Note: Delegate flight costs are documented for internal accounting purposes to establish a baseline for future event budget planning should WOYA need to sponsor delegate travel * WOYA hosted an official virtual side event at FfD4 (recorded: https://youtu.be/raZGW36eAq4) B. UN 2nd World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2) - Doha, Qatar | November 2025 WOYA attended WSSD2 under its UN Special Accreditation and brought 10 delegates nominated by WOYA and approved by the UN to participate. The event theme aligned directly with WOYA's mission: Resilient Economies, Inclusive Justice -Gender-Aligned Collaborative AI and Systemic Solutions. WOYA hosted an official UN side event at WSSD2 (woyacentral.com/event). Delegation summary: * 10 delegates nominated under WOYA Special Accreditation, approved by the UN * WOYA hosted an official Solutions Session(side event) focused on advancing Collaborative AI, financial equity, mental health, small business development, and systemic development. Significance: WOYA's UN Special Accreditation and multi-year global conference participation represents institutional recognition of the organization's mission at the highest international level.
