Civil Society

Why Civil Society matters?

The UN cannot transform itself without the voices of the people it serves

Civil society organizations bring frontline expertise, accountability, and the perspectives of communities most affected by global challenges. As the UN80 Initiative moves from design to implementation, structured and ongoing engagement with Civil society and stakeholders is not optional; it is essential.

This page is your hub for timelines, work package explainers, upcoming events, and key documents relevant to civil society participation in the reform process.
