The Covid-19 Pandemic has largely directed and dictated operations, actions, and outcomes for the past year. We saw several changes in ways of doing business but largely in the manner in which programming was conducted by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Despite the shortfalls and grave detriments of the pandemic, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) Board, its Members, and the Secretariat for the tremendous work that they have done throughout the year 2020. As Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), we exist to contribute towards sustainable development through various ways at both the local and national levels. This has seen a significant number of citizens benefitting from programmes supported by NGOs in the area of social and humanitarian interventions. In the year 2020, NANGO was driven towards programmes centred on the sensitisation of the public on various developmental issues, community resilience building through offering life skills and livelihood programmes as well as coordination of civil society to efficiently and effectively play the watchdog role and; speak in a unified voice. While the COVID-19 pandemic has been a major priority and may continue as such for a while, we should not be blind sighted to the current worsening socio-economic and political challenges the general public has been facing even before the advent of COVID-19.
