Tadpole, well that was a great use of your time writing that. Thank you for your very intelligent and useful input. Bravo.

Gonk, happy to send you any information if there is a private messager on here but considering this is apparently a forum to throw abuse and patronize, I choose to actually exit this and try to find help administrative help in other ways.

There is enough negativity in this world already that I don't need to encounter more when I am trying to help people.

How easy is this to do and realistic?

If they're not "officially registered", how can you presume they are operating legally?


Local ngo registration procedure :


“A Local NGO is registered through the Ministry of Interior (MOI), and unlike an International NGO, does not require additional approval from another Ministry. The MOI will require:

Application form;
NGO’s Memorandum and Article of Association (MAA), issued by MoI;
Plan of NGO’s structure, signed by director, issued by MoI;
Map of the NGO’s address, certified by the local Sangkat;
Photos of office’s facade.
Copies of the office’s lease agreement;
Biographies of Cambodian director, administrator and financial officer with photos and copied ID cards;
Approval letter issued by the local municipality.

Once all the documents are submitted, and unless the application presents unusual difficulties, it typically takes a few months to fully register. So long as they fully understand the correct procedures and official fees from the outset, there’s no reason an NGO couldn’t complete these steps themselves. However, experienced and trustworthy legal advisors can earn their fees by knowing exactly what steps to take, and which are unnecessary red-tape."
