This one-hour session will present the first-ever ICAO Global Appeal focusing on the ICAO consolidated resource needs for 2026–2028 and showcasing key achievements thanks to the mobilization of critical funding. This event will highlight priorities for resource mobilization in the next triennium to support the ICAO Strategic Goals and High-Priority Enablers for the benefit of Member States.
Join us to understand the essential role of donor contributions in closing capacity gaps, accelerating innovation, and ensuring no country is left behind as ICAO drives progress under its Long-Term Strategic Plan 2026–2050. This session will help shape ICAO’s focus areas and streamline resource mobilization efforts going forward.
This pledging event will also provide the opportunity to all partners to showcase their commitment to the achievement of ICAO Goals by announcing their contributions to support ICAO programmes globally.
