NGO stands for non-governmental organisation and is a private organisation, independent from any government. NGOs often rely on donations to conduct their work and implement activities, which respond to a variety of needs and raise the quality of life of people living in poverty.

NGO stands for Nongovernmental Organization. The World Bank defines NGOs as “private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development” (Operational Directive 14.70). In wider usage, the term NGO can be applied to any nonprofit organization that is independent from government. NGOs are typically value-based organizations that depend, in whole or in part, on charitable donations and voluntary service.
