Addis Ababa, September 13, 2021 (FBC) – The Ethiopian Charities & Civil Societies Agency (ECCA) has issued warning against NGOs that are said to have engaged in dangerous activities jeopardizing the nation’s wellbeing.

ECCA said it will take serious measures against the NGOs found blameworthy of engaging any menacing act that put sovereignty, unity and security of the nation at a risk.

Director General of ECCA, Fasikaw Molla underlined that serious measures ranging from written warnings to cancellation of licenses will be taken against the NGOs that are breaching laws of the country.

The ECCA has been conducting an investigation over the last months to see if NGOs are complying with the Charities Law, and found some of the NGOs operating against wellbeing of the nation under cover of humanitarianism, he said.
