Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN (CoNGO)

The Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) is an independent, international, non-profit membership association of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It facilitates the participation of NGOs in United Nations debates and decision-making. CoNGO is most active at the major UN centres of New York, Geneva and Vienna but its work stretches out to all regions of the world. 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 experts. Of note, CoNGO has a committee on the status of women in New York, Geneva, and Vienna.

Soroptimist International sat on the CoNGO Board from 2003-2007 and is a candidate organisation for the 2011-2014 Board and is active on committees and in meetings. Soroptimist is a regular participant and panellist at the annual Civil Society Development Forum organised by CoNGO.
