The Department of Global
Communications Civil Society Unit is responsible for facilitating the United
Nations' engagement with civil society. This happens through the exchange of
information and the development of partnerships that enhance this interaction
and provide civil society with a deeper understanding of the work of the United
Nations. Felipe Queipo, Communications Officer at the Civil Society Unit,
provides more insight and information on how this partnership works.
How does the United Nations define civil
society? What's the difference between NGOs and CSOs and why does the Unit make
this distinction?
