In 2024, after many challenges and delays, the branch was officially approved on 20 December 2024. Later, we were told by other members of the NADEUM community who wanted to set up their own CBOs or SHGs that they had to wait up to five years before they received their opening certificate. Thus, it can be said that we, i.e. the Kenyan Mr. Denis Mitei Cheruiyot and the headquarters in Vienna, were able to proceed with relative speed. We were informed that international NGOs that want to establish a branch in Kenya proceed much faster to establish an NGO branch after handing over all documents, such as an original document from the Kenyan authority certified by a notary and a certified translator. The members of the board of the future NADEUM branch initially had to wait a long time before they received their police clearance certificates.
