The Coordinating Assembly of NGOs in Swaziland is the only recognized body for all non-governmental organizations in Swaziland. It is a private non-profit-making association of non-governmental organizations whose primary goal is to improve the quality of life of people in Swaziland. At its 32nd Regular Meeting, in December 2004, the ACBF Executive Board approved a grant of US$ 1 million to CANGO to support phase one (2005 – 2009) of the project. Phase two of the project was approved for USD 1.3 million for the 2012 – 2016 period.
The overall goal of the project is to strengthen CANGO’s institutional and human capacity to enable civil society to contribute to the development of policies and programs for eradication of poverty in Swaziland and to improve the quality and quantity of resources allocated to the poor.
