National Center for the Development and Promotion of Non-profit Associations (former: National Monitoring Council for Non-Profit Associations)

The National Centre for the Development and Promotion of Non-profit Associations is an organization for the encouragement and promotion of non-profit organizations which includes representatives from different ministries as well as different groupings of associations and foundations. Its central aim is to encourage the participation of these organizations in the development of policies specifically oriented to their area as well as in general policies of development. It exists since 2005 in replacement of the former National Monitoring Council for Nonprofit Associations. The Center is charged with maintaining the Registry of Non-Profit Associations, as well as the advising and recommending of policies and the monitoring and evaluation of determined activities.
