CODE-NGO convenes its membership Commissions

In June 2011, CODE-NGO will convene a joint meeting of its two Commissions, which oversee the network’s programs for membership development.  These are the Commission on Institution and Capacity Building (CICB) and the Commission on Internal Reform Initiatives (CIRI).  The CIRI and CICB are set to review the implementation of the activities which supported the Commissions’ goals towards building the institutional capacities of CODE-NGO member networks as well as monitoring the practice of good governance.  These activities include the drafting of the CODE-NGO Network Performance Monitoring System, conduct of a series of resource-building seminars for NGO networks, and peer-assist sessions by the CODE-NGO Board for the priority member networks, among others.

In June 2011, CODE-NGO will convene a joint meeting of its two Commissions, which oversee the network’s programs for membership development.  These are the Commission on Institution and Capacity Building (CICB) and the Commission on Internal Reform Initiatives (CIRI).  These Commissions have not been able to convene for the past two fiscal years due to resource constraints experienced by CODE-NGO as related to the global financial crisis in 2008.  

Despite these contraints, CODE-NGO has been able to implement activities related to the goals of the Commissions in terms of building the institutional capacities of our member networks as well as monitoring our practice of good governance. The implementation of these initiatives shall be the subject of the review by the Commissions:
