NGORA has been appointed into the National Steering Committee of the Malawi Open Government Partnership (OGP), a global network of countries that believe in transparency, accountability and the fight against corruption. The OGP was officially launched on June 6, 2023 by His Excellency the State President of the Republic of Malawi, Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera at BICC in Lilongwe.

The amendment of the NGO Act scores highly in promoting civic space as it allows for freedom of association. The amendment also transformed the NGO Board of Malawi into the NGO Regulatory Authority in order to increase transparency and accountability in the NGO sector.

The OGP platform also provides NGORA with a platform for networking and connecting with NGO funders. The NGO Annual Reports which NGORA provides to the public contribute to achieving values of the partnership.
