In response to the critical resource challenges facing the UN/LOCODE programme, this side event will convene a diverse panel of speakers from United Nations agencies, international organizations, and key industry stakeholders to explore innovative funding mechanisms and partnership models. The session will focus on the concept of a Contribution Support Fee and other potential modalities to ensure the long-term sustainability and modernization of the UN/LOCODE system.
Participants will engage in an open dialogue with the UN/LOCODE Advisory Group and UNECE Secretariat to assess the feasibility of various funding approaches, including voluntary contributions, public-private partnerships, and service-based support models. The event aims to foster a shared understanding of the operational risks posed by the current liquidity crisis and to identify actionable pathways for resource mobilization.
All stakeholders committed to the future of global trade facilitation and location standardisation are encouraged to attend and contribute to this critical discussion.
