Forthcoming policy developments

At the moment the future discussion revolves around a reform prompted by the fact the volunteering sector needs to be strengthened in order to meet the present and future needs of volunteering in Malta and so that the sector continues to be recognised as an important pillar in society. The discussion revolves around the fact that the reform must ensure that the sector has the strength and tools it needs so that it can function properly, and the necessary change process that goes beyond the legislative change and that looks at the sector collectively. Above all, the reform will aim at creating a balance between what must be regulated and what must be supervised. A national consultation on this reform is in process.
