The integrated Civil Society Organizations (iCSO) System, developed by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), facilitates interactions between civil society organizations and DESA.
The system provides online registration of general profiles for civil society organizations, including address, contacts, activities, facilitates the application procedure for consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and assists accredited NGOs in submitting quadrennial reports and in designating representatives to the United Nations.
NGOs are welcome to login and contribute to CSO Net - the Civil Society Network. The username/password is the same as to our "Civil Society Database". No username/password? Please contact us at ngobranch@un.org.
