HAC New regulations stifle civic space - Part 1 of 5
In late February 2021 a new set of regulations governing organizations registered under the Sudan Voluntary and Humanitarian Works Act (SVHWA) of 2006 surfaced on social media and caused an uproar and widespread discontent among civil society organizations and activists in Sudan.
The new regulations were ratified by the previous minister of Labor and Social Development, Lena Al-Shiekh during her last days in office and were signed by her on 1 February 2021 (6 days prior to the Prime Ministers decree dissolving his cabinet of Ministers and relieving them of their duties).
