It is SANGOCO’s stated aim to support the democratic government in this endeavor. However, since the inception of the Coalition there have been a number of significant policy shifts which warranted a reassessment of its core role and function. The most important of these developments was the adoption of an unsuitable macro-economic framework. This economic framework was meant to redistribute wealth, create jobs and generate economic growth but the opposite is true because of its neo-liberal character. SANGOCO’s strength lies in the collective will and effort of its members; as a result the Coalition is a democratically constituted organisation with every member eligible to forward people to stand for office and vote in the Coalition’s forums. Our vision is of a democratic society where poverty and inequality have been eradicated, and where ordinary men and women are able to participate in all decision-making processes that have an impact on their lives. Our mission Is to promote civil society by uniting and strengthening the civil society sector to enable it to influence development policy and advocate for programmes that meet the needs of the poor in the best possible way and at the least possible cost. Our strategic focus areas: Lobbying and advocacy Ensuring ethical leadership and good governance Strengthening civil society networks Facilitating access to resources Engaging with key actors Research, monitoring and evaluation Our objectives to establish a strong and vibrant civil society that is well suited to serving the interests of the poor through building the capacity of the civil society sector. to influence development policies in the country, and ensure that all government programmes and policies effectively serve the needs and interests of the poor.
