Special Consultative Status
During the year of 2009, the Help for the Andes Foundation was granted by the ECOSOC, Special Consultative Status with the United Nations. Consultative status with ECOSOC matters. It gives civil society access to nearly all intergovernmental processes at the UN dealing with economic and social development, gender issues, sustainable development, small arms and human rights.
