The road to law 153: a participatory process The journey to this law started in September 30,1997 when about 400 NGO leaders were invited to brainstorm on how a new NGO should reflect the expanded role thereof.Over two years, 19 meetings were held to finalize the bill. There were two drafting committees on which 13 NGO leaders served. The bulk of NGO suggestions was accommodated in the new law. Prominent among such suggestions was the one calling for the creation of a judicial arbitration committee to decide on disputes between NGOs and government bodies. |
