The West African NGO Network is an electronic community of civil society organisation across the regions that share the singular goal of enhancing the development of their stakeholders within the population of the region in particular, and the world in general.
The WANGONeT project was originally conceptualised and designed in substance if not form to harness the global reach of the steadily evolving Information and Communications Technology sectors for the benefit of Non Governmental Organizations, media, cultural and educational institutions.
The idea is for the creation of a financially viable organization that will provide high bandwidth INTERNET connectivity, while hosting, organizing, managing and providing content on the World Wide Web for non-profit organizations, cultural and educational institutions in Nigeria, Ghana and ultimately the West African sub-region. It seeks to maximize positive developments in the rapidly evolving information technology and communications environment in West Africa, to provide critical content that represents alternative voices and a renewed advocacy on this new global media platform.
