The new NGO Law is a significant improvement from the previous one on a number of important points.

ECNL was member of the working group, which the Ministry of Youth and Sport commissioned to prepare the Law and provided research and technical assistance in the process.

The NGO Law is planned to be adopted during autumn.

The goal of the conference was to identify regional and national experiences of cooperation between authorities and CSOs at the local level and to propose a model for effective cooperation and sustainable civil society at the local level.

The aim of the workshop is to build capacity of government officials dealing with civil society in their respective countries and open the door to exchange experiences concerning the civil society.

The Guidance note builds on a previous research by ICNL and ECNL considered trends and lessons in the development of supportive volunteerism policies and legislation.

ICNL's latest issue of Global Trends in NGO Law addresses laws that restrict the freedom of citizens and groups to exercise their right to assemble peacefully.

The programme is designed to provide opportunities to engage practitioners and scholars to advance the legal environment for civil society.
