Understanding the NGO Concept

NGO generally describes a group that acts independently of any government. The term was coined by the United Nations (UN) in 1945 in order to distinguish between government bodies and private organizations, and is relatively modern. NGOs are typically formed by private citizens with a mission or service in mind, and they use their platform for advocacy in the non-profit sector. The World Bank describes NGOs as “private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development.” NGOs encompass a wide range of structures: there are large and small groups, some operate locally or around the world, some focus strictly on one issue while others advocate for a variety of topics. Over the past decade, the number of NGOs and their influence in different sectors grew exponentially. These groups now not only work at the grassroots level, but also work as advisors to governments, international agencies, and even the UN.
