non governmental organizations ne demek?

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are nonprofit organizations that operate independently from governments and political entities. They are usually formed to provide services or undertake activities to address social, cultural, educational, or environmental issues. NGOs operate at the local, national, and international levels and often rely on donations or grants from individuals, foundations, or governments to fund their activities.

NGOs can focus on a wide range of issues such as human rights, public health, poverty alleviation, animal welfare, environmental conservation, and education. They can also work on advocacy, campaigning, and lobbying to influence policies and decisions made by governments and international organizations.

NGOs can take many different forms, including community-based organizations, foundations, charities, research institutions, and advocacy groups. They can be staffed by volunteers, paid employees, or a combination of both.

NGOs play an important role in development, humanitarian aid, peacekeeping, and promoting democracy and good governance. They also often work in collaboration with governments and other organizations to achieve their objectives.
