United Nations
We will start sharing links to UN efforts which address the issue challenges from February 2026 and they will be shared on the government efforts page. Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has recognized the importance of partnerships with NGOs in advancing its mission. In 1946, only 41 NGOs were granted consultative status by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). In 2025, more than 6,494 NGOs enjoy this status, working in various fields such as education, health, poverty eradication, human rights, gender equality, and indigenous issues.
