Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act

Why it matters

• Ensures transparency and accountability in the receipt of foreign funds by non-governmental organizations and civil society entities.
• Prevents the potential misuse of foreign financial assistance for activities detrimental to national interest or public order.
• Provides the government with oversight mechanisms to monitor the flow of international capital into domestic socio-political and developmental sectors.

How it is asked

Focus on the balance between regulatory oversight and the operational autonomy of the voluntary sector, the criteria for registration and cancellation of licenses, and the implications of compliance requirements on civil society engagement.
