For over 30 years, the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO) has stood as a bold and unifying force for civil society across the Pacific region. Serving 24 member countries and territories, PIANGO is the regional secretariat for National Liaison Units (NLUs), which function as national civil society platforms that coordinate and amplify the voice of local communities, grassroots groups, and non-governmental organisations. Rooted in the Pacific's cultural values and principles of development effectiveness, PIANGO's work is guided by the vision of: "A United Pacific: Strengthening the Resilient Responsiveness of our Kainga for a Peaceful and Prosperous Vanua." Its mission is equally inspiring: "To support the creation of a secure enabling environment for strong, effective, accountable and adaptive institutions that provide inclusive representation and common voice platforms and structured mechanisms for policy influencing, rooted in Pacific cultural practices and values-through sustainable, equitable, and genuine partnerships for resilient development." This powerful mandate is brought to life through PIANGO's call for "Transformative Partnerships for a Resilient Sustainable Pacific", a call aligned with Agenda 2030 and grounded in uniquely Pacific approaches to development, resilience, and solidarity. PIANGO's work focuses on four strategic pillars: Governance and Leadership - Strengthening national platforms and cultivating visionary leaders who are grounded in community and capable of guiding resilient institutions. Voice - Amplifying community perspectives and ensuring vulnerable groups have meaningful influence on national, regional, and global policy-making. Approaches - Promoting Pacific-led and evidence-based approaches to development, rooted in indigenous knowledge, traditional practices, and critical research. Partnerships - Building inclusive, equitable, and long-term collaborations across civil society, governments, and donors to support a thriving, accountable civic space. In today's context of global uncertainty, climate risks, and shrinking civic space, PIANGO is committed to enabling local leadership, defending civic freedoms, and promoting people-centred, holistic development that reflects the hopes and wisdom of the Pacific peoples.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
