URGENT REMINDER FOR NGOS TO SUBMIT 2023/24 FINANCIAL YEAR ANNUAL REPORTS AND RENEW OPERATING LICENSES BY 30TH JUNE 2025
The NGO Regulatory Authority (NGORA) would like to remind all registered Non
Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Malawi of their statutory obligation to comply with
the reporting requirements outlined under Section 22(a) of the NGO Act (2001) and
Section 2 of the NGO Reporting Regulations.
In accordance with the law, all NGOs are required to submit their audited financial reports
and technical reports for the year 2024 to the NGO Regulatory Authority no later than
30th June 2025. These reports serve not only to satisfy legal compliance but also play a
critical role in informing Government, development partners, and other stakeholders
about the contributions of the NGO sector to Malawi’s national development agenda,
Malawi 2063 (MW2063). The information provided feeds directly into the Annual NGO
Sector Reports, which profile the sector’s achievements, challenges, and impact across
the country.
NGORA also reminds all NGOs that operating with a valid license is a legal requirement
under section 8 of the fees regulations. NGOs that have not yet renewed their annual
operating licenses for 2025 are urged to do so without delay.
NGORA remains committed to fostering a transparent, accountable, and effective NGO
sector that aligns with national priorities and contributes meaningfully to sustainable
development. We encourage all NGOs to act promptly in meeting these statutory
obligations.
For further information or assistance, NGOs are encouraged to contact the NGO
Regulatory Authority at: tchibwana@ngora.mw, ikachikopa@ngora.mw, and
ctembo@ngora.mw or call +265 995 569456, +265 881 330 829, +265 999 039 474.
