Aug. 28, 2026 | Views: 7

The activities of non-governmental organizations are regulated by a wide range of legal and regulatory acts. Understanding the key legal requirements is important for every NGO — from establishing an organization to implementing projects, receiving grants, and preparing reports.

In our new article, we have compiled the main documents that NGOs need to take into account in their work:

  • Law “On Non-Profit Organizations”
  • Law “On Public Associations”
  • legislation on state social contracting and grants for NGOs
  • tax legislation
  • legislation on accounting and financial reporting
  • Law “On Volunteer Activities”
  • Law “On Charity”
  • legislation on public procurement
  • requirements for providing information on NGO activities

We also explain what an NGO leader should monitor and where to check the current versions of legal and regulatory acts.

The material was prepared by the Civil Alliance of Pavlodar Region as part of the activities of the regional office of the “ADAL AZAMAT – BELSENDI QOGAM” Civil Society Development Center.

If you have any questions regarding NGO activities, you can contact the regional office for a consultation.
