Uniting and Strengthening Civil Society Across Rivers State

RINNGOS is a state-level platform designed to coordinate non-governmental organisations, promote self-regulation, support community development and enable evidence-based policy advocacy.

Our Purpose

Why RINNGOS Exists

Non-governmental organisations in Rivers State play vital roles in education, health, environmental protection, human rights, gender equity, peacebuilding and economic empowerment. However, fragmented efforts, capacity constraints and limited policy access often reduce their potential impact.

RINNGOS bridges these gaps by serving as a collective voice, a capacity-building institution, a knowledge hub and a platform for structured engagement with government, private sector and international development partners.
