Le comité des ONG pour les maladies rares (NGO Committee for Rare Diseases) est un comité établi sous l’égide de la conférence des ONG en relation consultative avec l’ONU (CoNGO). Le comité des ONG pour les maladies rares a été initié par la fondation Agrenska et EURORDIS , puis Maladies Rares International (Rares Diseases International) - RDI. Le but de ce comité est de générer plus de reconnaissance politique par rapport au défi global des maladies rares. Sa création a été approuvée par un vote de 27 des membres de CoNGO en avril 2014. Sa réunion de lancement en tant que comité substantiel au sein de CoNGO s’est tenu en octobre 2015 à New York.
