Emerging Europe published an article titled, “Why Hungary’s New NGO Law is Harmful for Business.” The article reads in part as follows;

“The new non-governmental organisations’ (NGO) law in Hungary made international headlines; however, the crackdown on independent NGOs, trying to hold the government accountable, is not a new phenomenon in Hungary. The newly adopted law is about the transparency of foreign funded organisations. Despite its title, the law does not further transparency, but rather serves as a tool to stigmatise independent voices.

The Economic Times published an article titled, “Framing of law to regulate NGOs under process: Centre tells Supreme Court.” The article reads as follows;

“The Centre today told the Supreme Court that it was in the process of taking a final policy decision, including the framing of a law to regulate the activities of NGOs across the country.

A bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud considered the statement of Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Centre, and adjourned the matter for further hearing on August 21.

The Global Journal began publishing nonprofit rankings in 2012 with the Top 100 NGOs. After expanding the scope of the project to a Top 500 NGOs in 2015, the fourth edition picks up where the Journal left off on an all-new media platform, NGO Advisor. The 2016 edition intensifies this fascinating exploration of the global nonprofit sector with three Top 500 rankings: World, USA, and India. The scoring for the newest World edition is already underway, with the next international ranking of NGOs coming out on June 16, 2016. The other rankings arrive later in 2016.

The InsideNGO Annual Conference is an exclusive, members-only event. One of the largest gatherings worldwide of professionals in the international relief and development NGO community, this year’s event was one for the books! The 2017 Annual Conference provided more opportunities than ever to learn, network, and celebrate the important role that operations staff play in advancing the work of mission-driven NGOs.

At this year’s conference, LINGOs had a dedicated track featuring a great lineup of learning-focused sessions led by partners, members, and friends of LINGOs, open to all attendees. They also introduced a new “Global Learning Lab” where everyone could collaborate on innovative projects and capacity building tools. Our 2017 wrap up page is coming soon!
