An e-conference on Global Leadership in the 21st Century will be held on 15 and 16 December, under the joint leadership of the United Nations Office at Geneva and the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS). The Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) is one among 24 partner organizations from the UN System, academia, civil society, foundations and the private sector.
A hundred NGOs related to the United Nations joined CoNGO—the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations—in a statement reaffirming the importance of NGO access to and at the United Nations. More NGOs are expected to endorse the statement. CoNGO issued the statement on the eve of two important meetings at the United Nations this week, the UN General Assembly Special Session in response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on 3 to 4 December 2020 and a panel discussion dealing with strengthening participation, protection and participation of civic space.
CoNGO membership is open to all national, regional and international NGOs that have consultative, associated, or observer status with the United Nations.
Full membership allows for full participation in the work of CoNGO, including the right to vote at the CoNGO General Assembly and run for office in its Board of Directors or in any of its NGO (substantive) committees. NGOs not having ECOSOC status but with formal relations with any part of the UN system may apply for Associate membership.
