Our Principles
Through its work and association with promoting partnership and inclusivity, the membership of the NCC over the years have been working assiduously to employ strategies and tactics to address HIV prevalence, communicable and non-communicable diseases, and discrimination of all forms against marginalized groups. A wide cross section of audiences that included policy makers, service providers, and those accessing services were direct beneficiaries. Through its core values of legitimacy, accountability, inclusivity, respect, and integrity the NCC will work towards:
- Reigniting the spirit of volunteerism to build a new cadre of committed male and female human resources for health, social, and community work, with special emphasis on youth involvement.
- Mobilising human resources with necessary knowledge, skills, experience, and expertise for upgrading, marketing, and providing income-generating services for private sector, non-governmental, governmental, community, and faith-based organizations.
- Advocating for constitutional reform, repeal of legislation perpetuating stereotyping, stigma, discrimination, exclusion, marginalization, and criminalization of individuals and groups.
- Collaboration with key stakeholders for community development.
- Effectiveness, fairness, bridge building to earn and maintain trust and confidence of members and partners.
- Advocating assertively and respectfully with gatekeepers of community, national and international resources.
- Involvement of youth in the management of NCC and NGOs.
In addition, the NCC will be guided by the following:-
- Explore funding to expand the coalition’s work regionally in line with its own strategies, which mainly includes capacity building, technical assistance, policy dialogue, research and networking. A Needs Assessment will be periodically done.
- An advocacy and communication plan will be developed to support and guide the outcome of the resource mobilisation plan.
- Develop relationships and partnerships with major donors which will be achieved through a communication strategy.
Our Targets
NCC Membership
The targets for the Coalition are based on a percentage of the operational and programmatic costs to sustain its members annually for the next five (5) years. It is envisaged that the average yearly amount to sustain the current membership of twenty (20) NGOs is thirty-five million dollars (G$35,000,000). At the end of the first year of NCC’s implementation of the resource mobilisation plan, it is expected that the budget would be increased by another thirty-five million dollars (G$35,000,000) with the addition of 12 new NGOs to the membership. Therefore the total programmatic and operational costs for the NCC for the first two years will be seventy million dollars (G$70,000,000) and will increase incrementally the following year with a further addition of 12 more NGOs to its membership.
