Description

Introduction Non-Governmental Organisations working in development have increased their profiles at local, national and international level. NGOs have come to be recognized as important actors in the landscape of development. NGOs tend to be best known for undertaking one or other of these two main forms of activity; the delivery of basic services to people in need and organizing policy advocacy and public campaigns for change. NGOs have also become active in a wide range of other more specialized roles such as emergency response, democracy building, conflict resolution, human rights work, cultural preservation, policy analysis, research and information provision.
