Ngos and Government Organisation Role Duties and Function

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens\' group which is organized on a local, national or international level. Task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest, NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizen concerns to Governments, advocate and monitor policies and encourage political participation through provision of information. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, environment or health. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms and help monitor and implement international agreements. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations system differs depending on their goals, their venue and the mandate of a particular institution. This book is focusing on the working of NGOs and Govt. Organizations and their working for the welfare of the society.
