Title   Tightening the noose: narrowing the democratic space for NGOs in Zimbabwe
Author Mashumba, Noria, with Chris Maroleng; ISS
Edition PDF
Published Pretoria: Institute for Security Studies
Year 2004-09-24
Pages 11
Abstract While draconian legislation already in effect, such as the Public Order and Security Act (POSA) and Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), already restrict the effective functioning of civil society organisations, the proposed NGO Bill will provide the government with broad powers, which will
allow it to, in certain circumstances, halt the operations of NGOs altogether. This will be achieved in a number of ways, including burdensome registration procedures and tight control on access to foreign funds, as well as contacts with international organisations.
