Greetings to civil society organizations from all over the world, whatever your affiliation. The Civil Society Unit facilitates the exchange of information and develops partnerships with civil society to enhance their interaction with and understanding of the work of the UN. Whether you are here just to look around, planning to become a member of the civil society community at the United Nations, or searching for the latest information on Civil Society Briefings, welcome!

United Nations is both a participant in, and a witness to, an increasingly global civil society; this dynamic relationship has become substantially more cooperative and productive over time. Partnerships are essential to ensure the continued and appreciating achievements of both the Ãå±±½ûµØand civil society community. Association with the Ãå±±½ûµØDepartment of Global Communications is one platform for civil society to work together with the UN, gain recognition and access to resources.

The Civil Society Unit of the Ãå±±½ûµØDepartment of Global Communications holds Briefings on a regular basis on topics on the UN¡¯s agenda that are of interest or relevant to the work of civil society organizations. The Briefings assist civil society organizations with their advocacy efforts on behalf of the Ãå±±½ûµØand offer a unique opportunity to interact and network with representatives of civil society, academia, business communities, and Member States working on similar issues.
