NGO
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit, citizen-based group that functions
independently of government.
The goal or objective of an NGO can cover just about any topic related to improving a region, country
the state of the world in some way.
NGOs rely on a variety of sources for funding projects, operations, salaries and other overhead costs.
Because the annual budget of an NGO can be in the hundreds of millions (or even billions) of dollars,
fundraising efforts are important for the NGO's existence and success.
Funding sources include
1. Membership dues
2. The sale of goods and services for private sector for-profit companies
3. Philanthropic foundations
4. Grants from local, state and federal agencies private donations.
5. Bequests, donations
6. Foundation
Problems in funding:
1. Must be constant
2. Lack of confidence in the administration and NGOs
3. The money does not reach the donor
4. Corruption ( in developing countries the most)
5. Do not hire technology for serve it
Activities:
NGO activities include, but are not limited to, environmental, social, advocacy and human rights work.
They can work to promote social or political change on a broad scale or very locally. NGOs play a
critical part in developing society, improving communities, and promoting citizen participation.
Operational: Operational NGOs seek to "achieve small-scale change directly through projects”.
They mobilize financial resources, materials, and volunteers to create localized programs. They hold
large-scale fundraising events and may apply to governments and organizations for grants or
contracts to raise money for projects. They often operate in a hierarchical structure; a main
headquarters being staffed by professionals who plan projects, create budgets, keep accounts, and
report and communicate with operational fieldworkers who work directly on projects. Operational
NGOs deal with a wide range of issues, but are most often associated with the delivery of services or
environmental issues, emergency relief, and public welfare. Operational NGOs can be further
categorized by the division into relief-oriented versus development-oriented organizations; according
to whether they stress service delivery or participation; whether they are religious or secular; and
whether they are more public- or private-oriented. Although operational NGOs can be community-
based, many are national or international. The defining activity of operational NGOs is the
implementation of projects.
Campaigning: NGOs seek to "achieve large-scale change promoted indirectly through influence of
the political system". Campaigning NGOs need an efficient and effective group of professional
members who are able to keep supporters informed, and motivated. They must plan and host
demonstrations and events that will keep their cause in the media. They must maintain a large
informed network of supporters who can be mobilized for events to garner media attention and
influence policy changes. The defining activity of campaigning NGOs is holding demonstrations.
Campaigning NGOs often deal with issues relating to human rights, women's rights, and children's
rights. The primary purpose of an Advocacy NGO is to defend or promote a specific cause. As
opposed to operational project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness,
acceptance and knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist even
Public Relation: Non-governmental organizations need healthy relationships with the public to meet
their goals. Foundations and charities use sophisticated public relations campaigns to raise funds
and employ standard lobbying techniques with governments. Interest groups may be of political
importance because of their ability to influence social and political outcomes. A code of ethics was
established in 2002 by The World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations.
Project management: There is an increasing awareness that management techniques are crucial to
project success in non-governmental organizations. Generally, non-governmental organizations that
are private have either a community or environmental focus. They address varieties of issues such
as religion, emergency aid, or humanitarian affairs. They mobilize public support and voluntary
contributions for aid; they often have strong links with community groups in developing countries,
and they often work in areas where government-to-government aid is not possible. NGOs are
accepted
