Egypt to refer NGOs Act amendments to Cabinet by March

The Social Solidarity-led committee drafting amendments to the NGOs Act will present a report to the ministry in less than a week, Minister Ghada Waly said, according to Al Mal. The committee involved several local and international NGOs. It will nominate sub-committee to draft a final version of the amendments to send to Cabinet by no later than March, we had noted last month. The contentious NGOs Act has been widely criticized for choking civil society.
