The CNMI has developed a Comprehensive Sustainable Development Plan that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals of the Marianas Alliance of Non-Governmental Organization.<\/p>\n

This, according to MANGO Communications and Membership manager Shawna Babauta as she spoke before the Rotary Club of Saipan yesterday afternoon at the Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan.<\/p>\n

According to Babauta, the SDGs are a universal call to action established by the United Nations to address global challenges by 2030. The Office of Planning Development, along with partners, created a document outlining the CSDP.<\/p>\n

Babauta mentioned that nonprofits can leverage the SDGs to benefit the economy and that is by fostering collaboration and innovation and enhancing community well-being.<\/p>\n

She shared that nonprofit sector employment ranks as the third-largest workforce in the U.S. following the retail and manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cNonprofits account for around 12.5 million jobs, which is approximately 10% of the total private workforce,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that nonprofit employment tends to be concentrated in sectors like healthcare, education, and social assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nonprofit sector in the CNMI is underdeveloped but has great potential to enhance service capacity through partnerships with public agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Babauta discussed how nonprofit data can help which is through understanding economic impact, being informed of policy decisions, resource allocation, promoting collaboration, and enhancing transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

The data sets include employment statistics, revenue and funding services, program expenditures, economic output, and sustainable development goals.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit sector is needed as Babauta emphasized because it is a vast and diverse and includes most of the nation\u2019s premier hospitals, universities, almost all of its orchestras and opera companies, theaters, etc.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit sector is needed for religious congregations, environmental advocacy, civil rights, family, and children services, neighborhood development, community health facilities, foundations, antipoverty, hospitals, and universities.<\/p>\n

MANGO\u2019s mission is nurturing the nonprofit community in the CNMI for sustainability by facilitating their growth through guidance, training, and services. Its vision is to have a strong, stable nonprofit sector providing services to the CNMI, increasing overall community health and well-being.<\/p>\n

MANGO services include establishing a nonprofit, board training, sustainability, strategic planning, non-profit management, financial management, proposal writing, accounting services, organizational resources needing analysis, and notary services.<\/p>\n

Babauta\u2019s presentation was concluded with a group photo with the Rotary Club of Saipan officers.<\/p>\n
