What are NGO’s
Roles and Impact Understanding Non-Governmental Organizations
NGOs, or Non-Governmental Organizations, are non-profit organizations that operate independently from government entities.
They are typically driven by a specific mission or cause and work to address social, environmental, or humanitarian issues. NGOs play a critical role in filling gaps in social and humanitarian services, advocating for marginalised populations, and driving positive change in society. Their flexibility, independence, and focus on specific causes make them valuable contributors to addressing global challenges.
Examples of NGOs include organisations like Amnesty International, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and Save the Children. These organisations operate globally and have a significant impact on various issues affecting communities worldwide.
