(Part 3) International Ebola Recovery Conference…

The objective of the technical consultations is to have a high level discussion on the "how' and the "what" of the recovery process, resulting in specific inputs to be reflected in the pledging conference on the 10th of July. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will host an International Ebola Recovery Conference on 10 July 2015 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in cooperation with the Presidents of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The purpose of the conference is to ensure that the Ebola affected countries receive the support and resources they need to "get to zero, stay at zero and recover". The conference will take place in partnership with the African Union, European Union, the World Bank and the African Development Bank. Participants at the high-level event will have an opportunity to pledge support to the National Recovery Strategies and the Manu River Union sub-regional Programme. The conference is expected to secure international support for the affected countries and the Mano River Union (comprising Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone), as well as concrete financial commitments for the implementation of national and regional recovery strategies over a 24-month time frame.
