MANGO was chartered and licensed by the CNMI Corporate Registrar in December 2010, and is the umbrella entity for all NGOs in the NMI.
MANGO is also a member of PIANGO, or the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Government Organization, a coalition of islanders dedicated to “strengthening and building the capacity of the civil society sector.”
