New PVO Amendment Bill Gazetted [Download]

This Bill will amend the Private Voluntary Organisations Act [Chapter 17:05]. The amendments are being made, firstly, in order to comply with the Financial Action Taskforce (FATF) recommendations made to Zimbabwe in the area of the abuse of charities for the financing of criminal and terrorist activity. Further to this, it has also become necessary to streamline administrative procedures for private voluntary organisations to allow for efficient regulation and registration of charities, which are registered in Zimbabwe as “private voluntary organisations”
