Taiwan is a paragon of democracy occupying a strategic location in Northeast Asia. In addition to being a powerhouse for global economic development and innovation, its free and open society boasts friendly people and thriving nongovernmental organizations. Taiwan’s NGOs actively participate in international cooperation and exchanges across a variety of domains, including democracy, human rights, humanitarian aid, medical and health care, gender equality, environmental protection, culture and arts, youth activities, and technological innovation.
The government of Taiwan would like to further demonstrate its commitment to the international community by warmly welcoming international nongovernmental organizations to Taiwan. INGOs can expand their presence and influence by setting up local or regional offices, or even global headquarters, in Taiwan. To help INGOs understand the procedures and regulations for establishing operations in Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dedicated a section of its bilingual NGO website to “Setting up an INGO in Taiwan.”
Interested INGOs are welcome to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for additional information and assistance.
