The Ministry of Civil Affairs has issued a directive urging local branches to enhance regulation and law enforcement to promote the healthy development of the charity sector. The directive emphasizes identifying and addressing illegal practices to ensure proper use of charitable resources.
Local authorities are required to conduct thorough investigations into charitable organizations, focusing on entities suspected of violations. Similar inspections will also extend to affiliated institutions involved in charitable activities, with particular attention to organizations managing fundraising, charity assets, and program operations. Initiatives addressing welfare protection, education, and medical services, especially serious illness assistance, are designated as key areas due to their significant public impact.
Authorities are instructed to address illegal activities in the charity sector with urgency and rigor. Immediate action must be taken against violations such as embezzlement, fraud, money laundering, illegal fundraising, and other misconduct. Prompt measures are necessary to prevent further harm, and violators must face strict penalties to uphold the sector’s integrity.
To improve enforcement effectiveness, public security organs and disciplinary inspection agencies are required to work closely together. This collaboration aims to establish a robust framework for addressing violations, safeguarding the positive contributions of the charity sector to social welfare, and preventing lawbreakers from undermining these efforts.
By reinforcing oversight and accountability, the Ministry seeks to foster a healthy, sustainable charity sector that supports social developments. This directive underscores the government’s commitment to building public trust in charitable organizations and advancing the well-being of the society as a whole.
