A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) is an entity established without any profit generating activities. This refers to charitable organisations, Not-for-Profits, Churches, Associations and other development-oriented or social enterprises.
A Non- Governmental or charitable organization has its activities
regulated by the organization's constitution and they have no
alliance with the Government and politics. The objectives of an NGO
may include to promote, assist, and provide help to members of the
public in different areas, ranging from education, literature,
grants, cultural development, sporting, and charity etc.
In line with the Companies and Allied Matters Acts 1990 (CAMA), an
NGO or charitable organization may be registered as a Company
Limited by Guarantee or as Incorporation Trustee. However, the
cumbersome requirements of registering an NGO under Company by
Guarantee have made Incorporation Trustee the best option as it is
easier, cheaper, and faster.
