The government has announced plans to engage stakeholders and provide a clear roadmap on the passage of the Non-Profit Organisation(NPO) Bill into Law, to regulate the operations of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in the country.
Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang made this announcement at the ongoing Ghana Civil Society Forum 2025, couched around the theme, “Reimagining Development Financing and Civil Action: Challenges, Opportunities and the Way Forward.”
Delivering her address on Wednesday, June 25, as Guest speaker, Prof. Opoku Agyemang highlighted the legislative gap and the absence of a regulatory framework to monitor and facilitate the activities of CSOs.
“The first has to do with reforming regulatory frameworks that govern NGOs and CSOs. There are currently no specific laws in place that facilitate the activities of CSOs. We are committed to working with civil societies to build consensus, towards passing the bill into law.”
