Welcome to the latest issue of our magazine, brought to you by the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO). We are thrilled to bring you the latest news, views, and insights from the world of local, regional, and international development within the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) sector. As mentioned in our previous issue, the PVO Amendment Bill has been passed by both the National Assembly and Senate at the Parliament level on the 1st of February 2023 and is currently waiting for Presidential assent. However, an analysis of the Bill by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has revealed that if passed into law in its current form, there will be various restrictions and threats that will compromise the independence and autonomy of the sector. The proposed PVO Amendment Bill clauses give the Government greater control over CSOs’ activities and grant discretionary power to the government over the operations of CSOs. As CSOs, we continue to engage the government to reconsider the Bill in good faith for the benefit of the country. We hope that the President will consider recommendations made by CSOs. In this issue, we reflect on the major developmental issues that you may have missed in the month of March, which are of great importance to the NGO community. Our contributors offer their perspectives on various important topics, sharing their experiences, insights, and recommendations for the future To read more, please download the attachment below;
