Cairo — Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly issued a decision Nov. 17 to form a committee led by Minister of Social Solidarity Ghada Wali to amend law No. 70 of 2017 for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations. This comes two years after a two-third parliamentary majority approved the law, despite fierce local and international criticism.
In accordance with Madbouly's decision, the committee is solely responsible for preparing a comprehensive vision to amend the law, while resorting to the ministries and bodies concerned with the work of civil society organizations for advice, and “taking advantage from similar international experiences in this regard.”
