More non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are losing their unconstrained status�becoming more regulated�according to an Oxford Analytica report released in mid-January.
'NGOs are not elected entities, and their constituencies may be too selective or narrow,' declares Analytica in its press release. 'The transparency of NGO processes often remains poor, in part because they remain largely unregulated.'
Many countries, including Eritrea, Nepal, and Sudan, have implemented new laws restricting activities of local and foreign NGOs, Analytica says"
