ABOUT US
Nyahunure Community Organisation (NCO) is a registered, community-based development organization headquartered in Mutoko District, Zimbabwe. Since its inception in 2006, NCO has emerged as a trusted grassroots partner in advancing sustainable development, resilience building, and inclusive community empowerment in rural and marginalised areas. Guided by a strong commitment to local ownership and participatory development, the organisation operates with the core belief that resilient communities are the foundation of national transformation.
NCO's programming is anchored in four thematic pillars: food and nutritional security, women’s economic empowerment, sustainable crop and livestock production, and healthy communities. The organisation has successfully implemented a wide range of projects aimed at improving agricultural productivity, strengthening climate resilience, enhancing livelihoods for women and youth, and promoting access to basic health services, including water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).
Our approach integrates evidence-based strategies with community-led innovations, ensuring that interventions are contextually relevant and sustainable. We apply a systems thinking lens in our work, with cross-cutting emphasis on gender equity, climate adaptation, child protection, and good governance. Over the years, NCO has built a strong reputation for collaboration, transparency, and impact, working closely with government ministries, traditional leadership structures, local authorities, international NGOs, and multilateral partners.
With a team of experienced technical experts and community field facilitators, NCO combines practical knowledge with strategic vision to design and implement high-impact programs. The organisation has also become a learning hub for adaptive programming, community-based monitoring, and resilience planning in complex rural settings.
Nyahunure Community Organisation remains committed to scaling up proven interventions, fostering inclusive rural economies, and supporting national development goals through locally driven solutions.
