The Caucus of Development NGO Networks’ (CODE-NGO’s) first National Congress in 1991 was a high point in the history of the development community. It was the first time that around 1,000 leaders from NGOs, cooperatives and people’s organizations from all over the country convened to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of forging a broad unity among the diverse and divided ranks of development NGOs. It was a triumph of solidarity. Together, CODE-NGO members consciously defined a collective vision for development and declared a commitment to observe the highest standards of development work.
Towards these ends, participating delegates in the first National Congress forged what is now known as the Covenant on Philippine Development. To this day, this historic document remains the fundamental basis for the broad unity established among the member networks and organizations of CODE-NGO.
