KAMPALA — The national NGO forum is to crack down on quack NGOs by the end of the year, the co-ordinator, Warren Nyamugasira, has said. He was speaking at the opening of the African Liaison Programme Initiative (ALIPI) December 2002, at the American Recreational Association in Makindye, yesterday.
Court blames
