Other comments: | Total Investment: $640-million from Exim Bank for sugar sector Legislation like the Charities and Societies Proclamation, Mass Media and Freedom of Information Proclamation and Anti-Terrorism Proclamation make it difficult for communities to organise and to assess the level of local organisation taking place. Human Rights Watch reports that under the Charities and Societies Proclamation, 41 NGOs operating in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region had their licenses revoked for carrying out campaigning activities. International organisations and institutions like Human Rights Watch, Survival International and the Oakland Institute have, however, conducted research and organised letter writing campaigns and petitions on the issue. |
