Strategic Plan

CONGO's vision is to be the primary support and platform for a civil society represented by a global community of informed, empowered and committed NGOs that fully participate with the UN in decision-making and programs leading to a better, an economically and socially more just world.

CONGO is well placed to provide guidance and support to NGOs worldwide. Its structure includes a wide range of substantive NGO Committees, providing advocacy and input on an ongoing basis to ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies in the field of economic, social, cultural, educational, health and related matters, as well as in the areas of human rights, gender, peace and disarmament.

Working from its traditional offices in Geneva, New York and Vienna, CONGO has embarked on an ambitious outreach programme, providing more support for NGOs at regional and national levels as per their involvement with United Nations, through new partnerships, regional consultations and co-sponsored events.

Our strategic 10-year plan includes a generous set of goals:

•   Enhanced DIALOGUE
•   OUTREACH to the NGO community, particularly in the South
•   TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING centres for NGOs
•   GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS and
•   Improved MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
