Difference Between a Peoples Organization and a Non-governmental Organization
The NGO is a non-governmental organization. Its funds are raised by the
government, but it maintains a non-governmental position, with no need for a
government council. They are also known as civil society organizations while a
peoples organization uses its extra funds for the purpose of the organization, rather
than dividing it between the shareholders and the owners of the organization.
Examples of NPOs are public arts organizations, trade unions and charitable
organizations.
