The U.S. Department of State has posted a website entitled “Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the United States.”  This website is available here.

The Jerusalem  Post published an article titled, “ISRAEL TO CLAMP DOWN ON FOREIGN FUNDING OF NGOS.” The article reads in part as follows;

“The government coalition has unanimously agreed to further limit the funding by foreign governments of political non-governmental organizations in Israel.

A two-pronged attack was agreed upon, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s support, in a meeting of coalition party leaders involving legislation and a parliamentary commission of inquiry into “the involvement of foreign governments in the funding of political organizations and activities to harm IDF soldiers,” according to a coalition spokesman.

Devex published an article online titled, “Q&A: How NGOs can protect themselves online.” The article reads in part as follows;

“With disinformation campaigns, online fraud and cyberattacks on the rise globally, companies, institutions and governments are scrambling to ramp up their online security measures. But the significant cost of firewalls, encryption and other digital security measures can make it difficult for at-risk players in the nonprofit sector to take the necessary precautions to prevent attacks, as well as to respond effectively if an attack does happen.

PUNCH published an article titled, “Reconciling NGO Regulatory Commission Bill with existing law.” The article reads in part as follows;

“The legislature has the exclusive power to make laws for the good and benefit of Nigeria and her citizens. However, one would hope that in exercising this power they would use the resources available to them (their legislative aides and the Law Reform Commission) to consider existing laws that cover the subject matter of the bills that they propose to enact into law.
