公共信息部/非政府组织会议是联合国最重要的非政府组织活动。这将是澳大利亚首次举办这种规模的联合国活动，也仅仅是第三次在联合国总部以外的地方举行这一会议。

该会议每一年都会吸引来自世界各地的非政府组织代表们，共同讨论关乎民权社会及非政府组织与联合国合作方面的话题。今年会议的一个重要目标是吸引来自亚洲的非政府组织。

2010年会议将重点讨论全球健康，因为它与千年发展目标密切相关，对澳大利亚政府和非政府组织都是一个非常重要的问题。健康问题是千年发展目标的核心，也是国际公认的发展路线。千年发展目标所涉及的一些主要问题包括：目标4（降低儿童死亡率），目标5（改善产妇保健）和目标6（防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病、疟疾和其他疾病）。

Description:

The DPI/NGO Conference is the premier non-governmental organization event at the United Nations.  It will be the first time Australia hosts a UN event of this size, and only the third time that the DPI/NGO Conference has been held outside of UN headquarters.

Each year this conference brings together hundreds of non-governmental organization representatives from around the world to focus on a topic of interest related to the work of civil society and non-governmental organizations in collaboration with the United Nations.  A major aim of this year's Conference is to attract participation from non-governmental organizations from Asia.

The 2010 Conference will focus on global health as it relates to the Millennium Development Goals, an issue of importance to both the Government of Australia and the non-governmental community.  Health issues are central to the Millennium Development Goals, which have been internationally accepted as the roadmap for development.  Some of the key issues addressed by the MDG include: Goal 4 (reducing child mortality), Goal 5 (improving maternal health), and Goal 6 (combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases).
