    About the ETrs Co-ordination Board
    Background The Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Board simply referred to as the ETrs Co-ordination Board was established by an Act of Parliament in 1990 and commenced its business on June 15, 1992.

    The main reason for the creation of the Board was to streamline the registration and Co-ordination of ETrs.

    The Board was formed as a result of the recognition of the important role ETrs were playing in the overall development of the country. By then, it had become apparent to the Government that, for better organization of NGO activities, a separate body, with full powers, to register and co-ordinate their activities was necessary.

    Prior to the establishment of the Board, ETrs were registered under different Government organs making it difficult to effectively co-ordinate their activities. Some were registered under the Society·s Act, others were either registered under the ministries of Culture and Social Services or that of Foreign Affairs hence the need to bring registration under one authority.

    The Board·s main task, from the very start has been to provide a ``one stop office·· for registration and co-ordination of ETrs in order to harmonize their activities with the overall Government policies and programmes.
    This is necessary in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and wastage through duplication of services between ETrs, Government and the communities the ETrs serve.
