Development Watch Volume 4, Issue 3

The year, 2022, is a very special year for the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) family. For starters, it marks the 60th Anniversary year since the establishment of the Association. We take this as an opportunity to reflect and evaluate the journey that we have walked this far. No doubt, it has not been easy especially with the current Covid-19 pandemic coupled with the shrinking operating environment for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Regardless of all this, the association remains committed to creating an enabling operating environment for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) within Zimbabwe. Thus, faced with the Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO) Amendment Bill, we will continuously engage with various stakeholders as we try to develop a common understanding and make sure NGOs can continue to operate without any obstacles that might hinder them from achieving their objectives and mandates. NGOs remain committed to complimenting government efforts as we contribute towards the achievement Agenda 2030, and successful implementation of the National Development Strategy 1.
