Zusätzlich zur Anwesenheit von Autoritäten und Repräsentanten der Mitgliedsländer, zählt der Ecosoc auf die Teilnahme von Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGO’s), die einen Beraterstatus beim Wirtschafts- und Sozialrat innehaben. Für die UNO sind deren spezialisierte Kompetenzen und praktische Erfahrungen für die Entscheidungsgrundlagen dieses Organs äußerst wertvoll. Mit dem Beraterstatus ausgestattet, kann eine NGO eine spezialisierte Analyse von Themen, direkt auf der Grundlage ihrer Erfahrung auf ihrem jeweiligen Gebiet durchführen; dabei mithelfen internationale Übereinkünfte zu überwachen und in die Tat umzusetzen und bei der Aufklärung zu sachdienlichen Fragen zu helfen und vieles andere mehr. Davon abgesehen nehmen sie an offiziellen Versammlungen teil, präsentieren schriftliche und mündliche Deklarationen und können auch an offiziellen Treffen mit offiziellen Delegationen von Regierungen und anderen internationalen NGO’s teilnehmen.
Die Legion des Guten Willens (LGW) – eine Organisation der brasilianischen Zivilgesellschaft, die seit 1999 den Status eines allgemeinen Beraters beim Ecosoc innehält - nimmt alljährlich an dieser wichtigen Veranstaltung teil. Die Institution stellt, in vier Sprachen (Spanisch, Französisch, Englisch und Portugiesisch) die brüderliche und ökumenische Botschaft ihres Vorsitzenden, José de Paiva Netto , sowie ihre Empfehlungen für diese Veranstaltung, aufgrund ihrer über 60-jährigen Erfahrung in Brasilien und in den sechs Ländern vor, in denen sie autonome Stützpunkte unterhielt: in Argentinien, Bolivien, den Vereinigten Staaten, Paraguay, Portugal und Uruguay.
In diesem Jahr stammen die Empfehlungen auch aus den Ergebnissen der von ihr geführten Debatten, welche die Institution anlässlich des 10. Intersektoriellen Forums des Netzwerks für eine Solidarische Gesellschaft durchführte, in einer Reihe von nationalen Veranstaltungen, die vom 20. bis 29. November 2013, in Argentinien, Paraguay, Uruguay und im Plurinationalen Staat Bolivien stattgefunden haben. Diese Treffen wurden von den Vereinten Nationen (Desa/UNO) unterstützt und zählten auf die Präsenz von Repräsentanten verschiedener lokaler Organe des UNO-Systems (Unic, Unicef, und Globaler Pakt).
