Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Gender, Children, disability and social welfare (MoGDCSW) who is also chairperson of the Steering committee on the formulation of the policy, Dr Mary Shaba, has confirmed about the consultation process on the NGO Policy.

“Yes we are indeed doing consultation process on the policy as you are aware NGOs have been operating without policy, that caused a lot of confusion and some dishonest people even took advantage of the loophole to start stealing from Malawians in the name of operating NGOs in Malawi, this will not be the case now,” she explains.
