  1. NGOs

    A non-governmental organization (NGO) or non-governmental organisation (see spelling differences) is an organization that generally is formed independent from government. They are typically nonprofit entities, and many of them are active in humanitarianism or the social sciences; they can also include clubs and associations that provide services to their members and others. Surveys indicate that NGOs have a high degree of public trust, which can make them a useful proxy for the concerns of society and stakeholders. However, NGOs can also be lobby groups for corporations, such as the World Economic Forum. NGOs are distinguished from international and intergovernmental organizations (IOs) in that the latter are more directly involved with sovereign states and their governments. The term as it is used today was first introduced in Article 71 of the newly-formed United Nations' Charter in 1945. While there is no fixed or formal definition for what NGOs are, they are generally defined as nonprofit entities that are independent of governmental influence—although they may receive government funding. According to the UN Department of Global Communications, an NGO is "a not-for profit, voluntary citizen's group that is organized on a local, national or international level to address issues in support of the public good". The term NGO is used inconsistently, and is sometimes used synonymously with civil society organization (CSO), which is any association founded by citizens. In some countries, NGOs are known as nonprofit organizations, and political parties and trade unions are sometimes considered NGOs as well.NGOs are classified by (1) orientation—the type of activities an NGO undertakes, such as activities involving human rights, consumer protection, environmentalism, health, or development; and (2) level of operation, which indicates the scale at which an organization works: local, regional, national, or international.Russia had about 277,000 NGOs in 2008. India is estimated to have had about 2 million NGOs in 2009 (approximately one per 600 Indians), many more than the number of the country's primary schools and health centers. The United States, by comparison, has approximately 1.5 million NGOs.

Examples of ngos in a Sentence

  1. Naftali Balanson:

    We encourage the end of all funding, both directly and indirectly, for NGOs that participate in the demonization and delegitimization campaigns, when you have organizations that are receiving money ostensibly for peace, human rights, and democracy but they refuse to work with Israeli partners, they refuse to meet with Israelis, and push for boycotts, those are in direct contradiction and seems to be a complete waste of taxpayer money.

  2. Carlos Rittl:

    By controlling the steering committee and excluding civil society, funds can be channeled to the private sector and away from the NGOs by a government that has frequently attacked those who work to protect the environment.

  3. Antony Blinken:

    The Taliban’s most recent edicts ban women from universities and from working with NGOs, and further the Taliban’s previous measures that closed secondary schools to girls and limit the ability of women and girls to participate in the Afghan society and economy, through these decisions, the Taliban have again shown their disregard for the welfare of the Afghan people.

  4. Sanam Naraghi Anderlini:

    Once the diplomats leave, the journalists leave, the international NGOs leave, they are going to basically lock the doors... God knows what we'll see then.

  5. Gareth Price-Jones:

    We believe it's still essential for international NGOs to retain the ability to deliver services, being international means we can maintain a pool of skilled staff and supplies which can be deployed anywhere in the world as needed.
