Eastern Cape NGO Coalition

The ECNGOC was founded in 1995 and serves as an
umbrella body for 700 NGOs in the Eastern Cape. Its
core business is to create a vibrant civil society and
it does this by working through organised structures
in the NGO sector. As a member based constituency,
the ECNGOC provides ongoing support to its member
organisations but also to the broader NPO sector. The
ECNGOC works with organised structures, which in turn
work to deliver social services directly to beneficiaries.
The ECNGOC utilises a bottom up consultative
approach in engaging NGOs and communities
ensuring that meaningful public participation is the
hallmark of a working democracy.

ECNGOC Support Areas
In strengthening the NPO sector, the ECNGOC has the
following support areas:
• NGO Legislation & Compliance
• Influencing the development approach - a shift
from needs based to an assets orientation to
development. Asset Based Community Driven
Development (ABCD) as an innovative tool for
planning processes includes Municipal Planning
• Sustainability of the NGO Sector – citizen oriented
leadership development on accountability and
engagement.
