OUR STORY

The Palawan NGO Network Inc. (PNNI) was organized in November 1991 by mainstream Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and People's Organization (POs) in Palawan with the motivation of presenting a broader NGO consensus that would carry more weight in the policy making process in various local government units in the province.

With its creation, NGOs hope to maximize the impact of their respective programs through consultation and coordination with one another. PNNI believes that by uniting the NGOs and POs towards a common pursuit, it can strongly influence the direction of development for Palawan. Since then, PNNI has actively involved itself in numerous provincial concerns.

"The Palawan NGO Network, Inc. shares a common vision of social justice and equitable distribution of wealth rooted within the framework of self-help and participatory democracy."
