Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in the Northern Zone have held consultation on the Non-profit Organisations (NPO) draft Bill to provide input and shape the future of the non-profit sector in the country.

The consultation forum, held in Tamale, and supported by STAR-Ghana Foundation, was to consult widely with CSOs on the draft NPO Bill and solicit feedback to inform a CSOs position paper on the Bill.

The CSOs in the Northern Zone came out with some input on the Bill, which was read by Madam Teiko Sabah, a Consultant at STAR-Ghana Foundation.

Madam Sabah said there was need to have more NPO representatives in the Board's composition and the appointment of Board Members should be co-led by NPOs.
