NCONGO holds that the future of Botswana depends on effective and coordinated partnerships between government, NGOs/CBOs and private sector to address socio-economic issues including the environment, the needs of orphans and vulnerable children, education and health including HIV/AIDS.

As part of its capacity-building mandate, NCONGO offers workshops covering a wide range of topics which arise from the needs identified by its members. In keeping with the Botswana Policy for NGOs to work closely with government, NCONGO collects data from its member organizations and submits recommendations to the GOB through the different government committees.

NCONGO is a hub for capacity building, networking and communication in the region and it liaises across sectors and advocates locally, nationally and internationally.
