UNITE GLOBAL SUMMIT 2020: VIRTUAL
PROGRAMME
The Global Summit: Virtual 2020 aims to commit, inspire, and empower policy makers towards the achievement of the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the next decade, while building a roadmap on clear policy actions to eliminate the threat
posed by communicable diseases. The Summit will conclude with parliamentarians and partners pledging their support to the UNITE
2020 Summit Statement
–
calling on parliaments and governments to uphold the SDGs and their commitments to ending infectious
diseases as a global health threat, in the midst and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNITE is an independent, non-profit, global network of 135 members of parliament from 64 countries. UNITE is committed to ensuring
that no life is limited by infectious disease through unified political advocacy. Our global, non-partisan network of parliamentarians is
divided into 10 Regional Chapters, each chaired by a parliamentarian leading activity in that geography. The UNITE global board
provides governance for the organisation and consists of founder Dr Ricardo Baptiste Leite, the UNITE secretariat, and chapter chairs
for Western & Central Europe, Eastern Europe & Central Asia, Asia & Pacific, Middle East & North Africa, Latin American & the
Caribbean, West & Central Africa, Eastern & Southern Africa.
