About the Partner Organisation 

The Coordinating Assembly of Non-Governmental Organisation (CANGO), based in Mbabane, was established as a network for NGOs focusing on primary health care in Eswatini. It has become the main coordinating body for NGOs in the country, with a mandate to facilitate sector-wide coordination, building member capacity, and influencing policies through advocacy. CANGO's mission is to ensure a well-functioning and coordinated civil society that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life for marginalized communities.
