The Tuesday Chat Series provides a platform for civil society organizations and the Civil Society Unit of the United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC) to engage in an informal discussion on thematic issues. It is an occasion for UN Civil Society Unit, civil society organizations and their respective partners to boost advocacy on key United Nations priority issues, share resources and best practices.
