About Us

Committee of NGOs and Business Affiliates Working in Consultative Status with the United Nations

Overview

We are a Committee of UN Accredited NGOs & Business Interlocutors started in 2023.

The NGOCPSD is a collaborative force led by civil society and private sector agents. We believe economic opportunity is the most fundamental driver of political stability, peace, and security.  Today’s challenges demand urgent action.  Economic instability fuels conflict and weakens governance.  Recognizing that peace, security, and human rights cannot thrive without a strong economic foundation, the NGOCPSD seeks to promote innovative, multi-stakeholder collaboration with governments, the private sector, and civil society to develop integrated, actionable solutions.

Our work aims to be aligned with the UN Secretary-General’s Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection (launched in 2021), which seeks to create 400 million jobs and extend social protection to 4 billion people.

Our purpose since our founding in 2023 has been to build coalitions, raise awareness, make joint statements, and encourage actions that prioritize private sector development as a pathway to the SDGs.  To this end, our work has been to unite business and civil society around the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Week to multiply concrete actions and commitments toward the SDGs.
