The words no-governemental-organitzation were usd for the first tim

27 febroury of 1950in the resolution 288 of ECODOC.
Since hen have gone from 41 NGO’s in 1950 to 2350 NGO in 2003
One of the most ancient is the red cross.

The globalitzation in the XX century increaredthe importance of the


Ngo. A lot of problems were solved by Ngo’s

NGO’s work in public health, humanitarian help, human right and the
economic development etc. they didn’t replce the countries actions if
not help where help is missing.

INGO stands for international NGO, such as Doctors Without Borders /


Medecins Sans Frontieres;

BINGO is short for business-oriented international NGO;

ENGO, short for environmental NGO, such as Global 2000;

GONGOs are government-operated NGOs, which may have been set


up by governments to look like NGOs in order to qualify for outside aid
or promote the interests of the government in question;

QUANGOs are quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations,


such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which
is actually not purely an NGO, since its membership is by nation, and
each nation is represented by what the ISO Council determines to be
the 'most broadly representative' standardization body of a nation.
Now, such a body might in fact be a nongovernmental organization--
for example, the United States is represented in ISO by the American
National Standards Institute, which is independent of the federal
government. However, other countries can be represented by national
governmental agencies--this is the trend in Europe.

There are also numerous classifications of NGOs. The typology the


World Bank uses divides them into Operational and Advocacy:[8]
The primary purpose of an operational NGO is the design and
implementation of development-related projects. One categorization
that is frequently used is the division into 'relief-oriented' or
'development-oriented' organizations; they can also be classified
according to whether they stress service delivery or participation; or
whether they are religious and secular; and whether they are more
public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs can be community-
based, national or international.

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 events.

USAID refers to NGOs as private voluntary organizations. However


many scholars have argued that this definition is highly problematic
as many NGOs are in fact state and corporate funded and managed
projects with professional staff.

NGOs exist for a variety of reasons, usually to further the political or


social goals of their members or funders. Examples include improving
the state of the natural environment, encouraging the observance of
human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or
representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number
of such organizations and their goals cover a broad range of political
and philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to private
schools and athletic organizations.
