The Non-Government Organisations Regulatory Authority has threatened to shut down operations of NGOs that do not abide by laws.
This is due to the fact that in 2023, only 432 out of the 982 registered non-governmental organisations submitted audited reports, indicating a 61 percent compliance rate.
In an interview with MIJ Online, Edward Chileka Banda, Chief Executive Officer for the Non-Governmental Organisations Regulatory Authority has given the non-compliant NGOs a three months’ notice to abide by the legislation.
Banda says all non-governmental organisations that have not complied by March 31, 2024, would be removed from the database since they are ineligible to operate within the nation.
