LAOAG CITY- "Be a self-reliant non-government organization." | |||
This was emphasized by Dr. Roberto de los Reyes, Chairman of Regional Association of Non-government Organization (RANGO) as the resource speaker of the recently conducted NGO summit in Ilocos Norte. | |||
In the summit, the non-governmental organizations taught them to have their own strategy on rasing funds for the mobilization of their projects and programs such as fund-raising activities, engage in businesses ventures for profit, and empowering the local NGOs to be able to establish a well-known organization to carrying out various activities with the local government units (LGUs). | |||
The empowering should begin with the Municipal Association of Non-government organization (MANGO). The same should develop activities that would multiply the funds of the NGOs in their area. | |||
Dr. de los Reyes also encourages the NGOs of each municipality to establish a cooperative as a way of earning profit and helping the members to earn individually. | |||
NGOs are self-funded organization which particular aims to help the members earn money for their needs and eventually breaks the cycle of poverty through their partnership with the government. | |||
As a civil society organization, they have three (3) main components: People’s organization, the social development, and the private sectors. | |||
Each of them has a vital role in attaining the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals. | |||
The summit also taught the members the ability of the NGOs in settling and managing things the right way, the NGO way. | |||
“We must show that private individuals are taking vital roles in the elimination of poverty, and we must show them our NGO leadership style, that we are self-reliance and a self-governing organization”- Dr. de los Reyes emphasized. | |||
Aside from empowering the organization from the private sector, the summit also stressed its role in uniting and strengthening the LGUs- NGO partnership towards local development. | |||
The summit was attended by various members of NGOs from the different municipalities in the province. | |||
