Vision and Mission

Vision

Strong and effective NGO and civil society sector for a just and peaceful Pacific community.

Mission

PIANGO exists to enable the Pacific extended family of NGOs to effectively promote and advance the interests and well-being of Pacific people. More specifically, PIANGO is a network of Pacific NGOs, existing to facilitate communication, provide a common voice at regional and international forums, strengthen Pacific forms of social action, and improve the well-being of the communities NGOs serve. To make this happen, PIANGO will have sufficient ongoing funding and skilled staff to ensure this mission is realised.

Areas of Strategic Focus

Four main strategic focus areas will guide PIANGO towards achieving this vision:

Sharing Information
Building Capacity
Strengthening Key Relationships
Ensuring Quality Performance
