Registration in ECOSOC (United Nations Economic and Social Council)
http://esango.un.org/civilsociety/login.do
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 and meeting participation, 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.
DESA has also developed CSO Net – the Civil Society Network, a web portal devoted to non-governmental organizations in association with the United Nations, and to members of United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, to promote best practices in the field of economic and social development. The portal gives users the opportunity to publish news and to engage and moderate discussion forums. It facilitates online pre-registration to UN conferences open for civil society participation and allows for submission of NGO statements to the Economic and Social Council.
Registration in INADI
INADI Registration of Civil Society Organizations
It is a statistical tool to deeply know the set of organizations which directly or indirectly contribute to the struggle against discrimination in Argentina.Through their incorporation into this register, INADI may promote the articulation and participation of these organizations in joint management of anti-discriminatory public policies that meet the specific demands of those individuals who might be in a situation of discrimination.
Through the Coordination of Society’s Networks, the Registry of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) aims to relieving, recording and organizing the information of organizations working against discrimination. This INADI Registry allows to know more about these organizations, by recognizing them from the State as a collective subject capable of containing interests and specific demands of the population in highly vulnerable situation or in case of discrimination. The INADI considers necessary to improve the quality of communication with CSOs and, therefore, the linkages with society as a whole. Consequently, the central purpose is to promote the development of institutional spaces for articulation between the Institute and such organizations. In such a way, it is encouraged their participation in promoting inclusive social practices.
The transformation that makes possible the coexistence in an Argentina in which any discriminatory practice has been definitively eradicated is a path built with the various social actors that compose the daily life of our society. In this direction, the joint work will get to addressing antidiscrimination policies from an integral perspective and, in this task, the involvement of social organizations is a fundamental contribution. Also, the integration to this Registry allows CSOs to achieve:
– Technical assistance and training on topics of discrimination;
– Institutional sponsorship;
– Participation in diverse instances of articulation with the INADI, for example in Society’s Networks.
