NGO Law Monitor

The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) is pleased to introduce the NGO Law Monitor.  This Project is made possible through the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

The NGO Law Monitor project seeks to provide up-to-date information on legal issues affecting not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world.  At this time, ICNL presents reports on 31 countries and 8 regional multilateral organizations.  Each country report provides an overview of key issues relating to the freedom of association and the NGO legal framework, with a focus on legal barriers affecting civil society.  Each regional organization report provides an overview of the organization, focusing on its engagement on NGO legal issues.  

ICNL expresses gratitude to the NGO Law Monitoring Network, which is comprised of individuals and organizations located in more than 30 countries.  The Network is dedicated to monitoring legal developments affecting civil society at the country and regional level.
