The NGO Forum provides a platform on which NGOs, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS), the UN, donors, and other external stakeholders can exchange information, share expertise and establish guidelines for a more networked, efficient and effective use of aid resources in South Sudan. The Secretariat primarily focuses on information sharing, advocacy for NGOs, networking, representation and communication around safety and wellbeing.
The Forum consists of two main constituencies (national NGOs and international NGOs) served by served by a Joint Steering Committee of INGO and NNGO members coordinated by the NGO Secretariat. There is a dedicated National NGO Focal Point in the Forum Secretariat, but all positions serve both the National and International NGO Groups. The work of the NGO Forum is detailed in the Statutes of Operations.
