How we started
In May 1990, CODE-NGO was established formally by the 10 largest NGO networks in the Philippines. In January 1991, it was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit organization.
Basis of Unity
CODE-NGO’s First National Congress in 1991 was a high point in the history of the development community. It was the first time that around 1,000 leaders from NGOs, cooperatives and people’s organizations from all over the country convened to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of forging a broad unity among the diverse and divided ranks of development NGOs.
