The NGO Regulatory Authority (NGORA) is informing NGOs that the reporting submission period has been extended to 31st July, 2023. This is due to the high number of NGOs whose audits could not be finalized by 30th June 2023. NGOs are reminded to submit audited financial statements, annual reports outlining activities undertaken in that year, and annual returns summarizing the NGOs administrative information.
NGORA is also reminding NGOs with an annual income below 100 million and are unable to conduct external audit, that they will be allowed to report without audited financial statements by using a prescribed form available at https://www.ngora.mw/download/prescribed-report/ or on request through email to registrar@ngora.mw. These NGOs are however still be expected to submit their audited financial statements by December, 2023.
NGOs are further reminded that non-compliance for a period of three consecutive years will result in automatic deregistration by the myNGO system. The Authority will publicize a list of this year’s non-compliant NGOs, issue them with warning letters, and impose a fine. NGOs that did not have sufficient funding in 2022 are advised to inform the Authority in writing of the status. The Authority shall suspend the obligation of such NGOs to pay annual fees until they acquire sufficient funding according to Regulation 6(2) of the NGO Fees Regulations.
Note that report submission is strictly online using the myNGO platform at www.myngo.mw. Submissions through email or hard copies will not be accepted.
