In early 2020; the bill was stalled amid sharp criticism from civil society and some legislators,\u201d Salihu said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that mainstreaming NGOs of all sizes and construct needed funds to operate, organise events, conduct training and research, pay staff, and rent office space.<\/p>\n<p>Salihu said most legitimate NGOs were supported either directly by grants or task-specific contracts from international development agencies and charitable foundations, or indirectly via partnerships with larger NGOs.<\/p>\n<p>He said while many disclosed their funding pipeline on their web portal at their events or in their annual reports, most international donors published details of projects and organisations they funded<\/p>\n<p>According to him, some NGOs solicit funds for selfish motives to fund activities, a development that must be corrected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A writer and activist, Alhaji Ibrahim Salihu has called for strict regulation for Civil Society Organisations (CSO\u2019s) and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) to streamline their activities ahead of 2023 general elections.
