  ECNL Presents on Improving Legal Framework for Civil Society in Moldova
 
17/11/2008

ECNL's Program Director, David Moore, presented on Improving Legal Framework for Civil Society at a roundtable discussion for NGOs held in Chisinau, Moldova on November 11. The roundtable provided a forum for some initial discussions of NGO related matters to be further developed at the NGO Forum. The Forum is tentatively scheduled for early December 2008.

Among the issues discussed were the National Strategy for Development of the Civil Society sector in Moldova in 2008-2011 that is currently pending in front of the Parliament; Moldovan non-profit sector's sustainability and such mechanisms, as 2 % law and public benefit status and an NGO Code of Ethics.

David Moore made a presentation on improving legal framework for NGOs. The presentation provided an overview of different stages of the NGO sector development and regulatory frameworks used at these stages. It also dealt in a greater detail with the issues related to the public benefit status, benefits and obligations that it implies, registration and re-registration of NGOs and percentage philanthropy mechanisms. For more information, see this presentation in English and Russian.

This activity is conducted under ECNL's project “Strengthening the Legal Framewok for Citizen Action”, supported by the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR).

    Just Released! UNV Report: Laws and Policies Affecting Volunteerism Since 2001
    UN Volunteers just published a global research study on trends and lessons in the development of supportive volunteerism policies and legislation developed by ICNL and ECNL. An overall review was conducted in 7 regions, complemented by country-specific case studies. The study analyzes considerations in drafting and implementing volunteerism laws and policies, and highlights the need to tailor them to specific local, national, and regional contexts. Since the International Year of Volunteers (IYV) in 2001, governments, the UN system, civil society partners, and other stakeholders have increasingly recognized that volunteerism makes significant contributions to peace and development.
