Pledge Statements:
Given the number of delegations expected to attend the Conference and the limits of time, only those making new financial contributions (as distinct from in-kind) for long-term recovery and reconstruction (as distinct from the humanitarian assistance that so many countries have already generously provided) will be speaking. Pledging statements will need to be limited to less than 3 minutes. However, longer written statements may be shared during the Conference, or in advance. These written statements will be posted on the Conference website.
