OUR HISTORY

From the Start

The Vanuatu Association of Non-Governmental Organization (VANGO) is the national umbrella organisation for all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) operating in Vanuatu.

This strategic plan outlines a vision,

mission, values, four goals, and eight objectives to guide VANGO in the
2022-2030 period.

Founded in 1991, it was first registered
with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) in 1995.

With the support of Oxfam, PIANGO, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, along with the collaboration of its members, VANGO will embark on an exciting new journey, that will bring great benefit to all stakeholders.
