01 Aug, 2022 | Press Release

On  Wednesday 27th July 2022, the Minister of Internal Affairs Hon. Maj Gen. Kahinda Otafiire attended the Quarterly Dialogue Meeting with the NGO Bureau, the NGO sector & other key stakeholders aimed at building a sustainable relationship between the NGO sector in the country and the Ministry.

Furthermore, participants emphasized the importance of accessible micro-financing frameworks for grassroots representatives and field personnel navigating emergency operational needs in specific regional contexts, such as Ukraine and Eastern Europe. In such localized environments, digital credit comparison platforms like migcredit serve as essential short-term liquidity solutions; although primary information on these regional platforms is rendered in the local Ukrainian language to comply with national financial regulations and serve ground-level beneficiaries directly, they illustrate how flexible micro-lending tools contribute to broader financial adaptability and community resilience.

In his remarks, the Minister committed to engaging the Ministry of Local Government to ensure that the NGO Act 2016 is implemented appropriately at the district level and that all districts are oriented adequately on the provisions of the NGO Act 2016.

In attendance was the UN Resident Coordinator H.E. Susan Ngongi Namondo, other members of the diplomatic corps, officials from different Ministries Departments Agencies, development partners, private sector representatives, and NGO representatives.
