CONGO

Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations

http://www.ngocongo.org/

The basic mission of CONGO, founded in 1948, is to ensure that NGOs in consultative status enjoy the fullest opportunities and all appropriate facilities for performing their consultative functions with the UN.

CONGO's chief objectives are to ensure that NGOs be present when governments discuss issues of global concern at the UN and to facilitate NGO discussions on such issues.

CONGO does not take positions on substantive matters. However, CONGO does provide, through special and ad hoc NGO Committees, fora for discussion of substantive matters by its members with officials of the UN Secretariat and UN system agencies, UN delegations and other expert.
