Coordinating Assembly for Non-Governmental Organization (CANGO)

The Co-ordinating Assembly of Non-Governmental Organisations (CANGO) in Swaziland was established in 1983.

It was set initially as a network for NGOs working in primary health care.

After CANGO’s mandate broadened in 1987, we have grown to become the national umbrella body for all non-governmental organisations in the country.

We coordinate the NGO sector and build the capacity of our member organisations — so they to fulfil their mandates. We also aim to influence national and international policies by advocating for measures that we think we help the country.

CANGO is a membership-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) operating in the Kingdom of Swaziland with a membership base of over 70 NGOs. CANGO is a registered NGO established in 1983 originally as a network of Primary Healthcare NGOs. Members of CANGO consists of NGOs/FBOs/CBOs registered in Swaziland, whose orientation is not to make profit, subscribe annually to CANGO and construct the General Membership.
