The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) is proud to release the report of the 2nd edition of the Annual CSO Symposium commemorating World NGO Day, highlighting key discussions and outcomes from this important event.
The symposium convened civil society leaders, government representatives, and development partners to explore the critical role of CSOs in advancing sustainable development in Zimbabwe. Held under the theme “Building a Sustainable Future: The Role of NGOs in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” the event featured interactive sessions, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities focused on sustainability, advocacy, collaboration, and citizen engagement.
The report captures practical insights, recommendations, and best practices to guide CSOs, policymakers, and development partners in strengthening civil society contributions to the SDGs and fostering a sustainable, inclusive future for all.

The Environmental Management Act [Chapter 20:27] establishes Zimbabwe's framework for environmental governance, providing for the National Environmental Council, the Environmental Management Agency and Board, the Environment Fund and environment levy, environmental quality standards, and the powers of inspectors and officers to monitor compliance, alongside the general environmental rights and principles that guide the Act's application. NANGO shares this legislation as a resource for member organisations working on environmental sustainability, natural resource management and climate-related programming, to strengthen understanding of the regulatory environment governing environmental protection in Zimbabwe. Members are encouraged to review the Act, available in full below, and to align relevant programme activities with its requirements.
The Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act [Chapter 9:24] establishes Zimbabwe's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework, providing for the Financial Intelligence Unit, money laundering and terrorist financing offences, cross-border currency and asset disclosure obligations, national risk assessment mechanisms, and customer due diligence, record-keeping and suspicious transaction reporting obligations for financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions. NANGO shares this legislation as a resource for member organisations, given the sector's obligations around financial transparency, donor fund handling and compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements. Members are encouraged to review the Act, available in full below, and to seek professional legal or compliance advice where specific application to their organisation is unclear.
The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) is proud to present the Annual Narrative Report for 2024, a comprehensive account of how the organisation has continued to lead, adapt, and deliver under immense pressure.
This report goes beyond numbers. It captures the real impact of civic action in a year defined by complex legal reforms, shrinking civic space, and economic uncertainty. It details how NANGO, together with its members and partners, navigated the evolving policy landscape—especially the controversial PVO Amendment Bill—and remained steadfast in advancing rights-based development, institutional resilience, and localisation.
From facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogues to championing policy advocacy, enhancing governance, and delivering strategic convenings like the NGO Directors’ Summer Retreat and the CSO Symposium on World NGO Day, this report reflects our unwavering commitment to protecting and promoting civic space in Zimbabwe.
We invite all stakeholders—government, development partners, and the public—to read the report and engage critically with the insights, lessons, and calls to action that will shape our collective work in 2025 and beyond.
