TIZ Clarifies Position on Zambia’s NGO Bill

Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) says it is not opposed to the registration of NGO but to provision in the bill that seeks to coordinate and regulate CSOs.

TIZ president, Reuben Lifuka, says that NGOs countrywide recognised the need for formal registration and had as such been registered under the Company Act as well as the Societies Act.

Lifuka says most NGOs adhered to strict rules of accountability and transparency and this could be evidenced through the submission of information on their activities and how funds were applied.
