Summary: Goal 6: Disease. Located in Geneva and New York, this very small inter-agency program works toward what they consider the seven basic goals of humanity: poverty, lack of education, gender equality, lowering the child morality rate, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDs, environmental sustainability and global partnership. Its current mission statement reads: "The Non-Governmental Liaison Service (NGLS) promotes dynamic partnerships between the United Nations and non-governmental organizations. By providing information, advice, expertise and support services, NGLS is part of the UN’s effort to strengthen dialogue and win public support for economic and social development."
