Welcome Message!
We (the NGO Coalition on Social Development) are delighted that you will join our mission to advance social development policies at the United Nations to create a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. At the heart of our work is a steadfast commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable populations by addressing our time’s most pressing social challenges (poverty, homelessness, hunger, human rights, etc.) through advocacy, collaborative efforts, and a shared vision.
The NGO coalition mobilizes, connects, shares, influences, and shapes global social development policies. With this in mind, we are writing a new narrative to catalyze social development beyond the World Social Summit 2025 and ensure everyone is included.
“We are not just a coalition but a mechanism for the voices and leadership of the globally diverse representation of civil society, including NGOs, Indigenous Peoples, people with disabilities, people of African descent, youth representatives, youth-led organizations, community-based organizations (CBOs) and faith-based organizations (FBOs), academic institutions, representatives of workers and employers, and the private sector, with due regard to gender balance contributing to the work of the United Nations Commission for Social Development.”
In NGO Coalition, your voice is heard, your opinion counts, your ideas inspire, and your actions make a difference.
Join our subcommittees and engage in meaningful dialogue and advocacy efforts to drive policy changes that benefit communities worldwide—partner with us on impactful projects that address critical social development challenges and create lasting change.
Access a wealth of resources, learn best practices, listen to stories from the grassroots, and expertise to strengthen your organization’s capacity and effectiveness. Connect with like-minded organizations and individuals from the grassroots: youths, children, women, and aging developed and developing, those who share your passion for social development and human rights.
Welcome, and let’s get started.
