Starting an NGO in Tanzania

Hi Bonnie,
I believe that you will ahve to deal with Brela to do this. Brela is Tanzania's central name registering authority.
www.brela-tz.org

I registered my company there, and it was less than a pleasant experience. Expect delays and extra costs.

Keep up up to date. I am curious to hear about registereing an NGO. I know other people who are thinking about it.

Cheers,
Ramsey

Thanks Ramsey, I know what a pain it can be to do anything here in TZ, it took us a year to get an official work permit b/c we wouldn't bribe anyone.

Thanks for the website, I will go check it out.
