NGORA is in the process of developing regulations to operationalise the NGO Law. Yesterday, in conjunction with CONGOMA we held a consultation meeting with Network Representatives, CONGOMA Regional Chairpersons, and Government MDA focal persons at BICC in Lilongwe to review the zero draft of regulations on Registration, Reporting, Coordination and Complaints Handling.
During the meeting Chief Legislative Counsel Amani Musa, from the Ministry of Justice oriented the delegates on what regulations are and what they are not. The delegates were also oriented on global charity regulation best practices by Robin Gregory, who has 10 years experience in the sector having previously worked for the Charity Commission of England.
In January, NGORA will share the first draft of the regulations with the public for review and conduct regional consultations.
