Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are organizations that are independent of government and operate on a non-profit basis. They are typically formed to address social, economic, environmental, or political issues. NGOs are often funded by donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, as well as through grants from governments and international organizations. They are typically staffed by volunteers and professionals, and their activities are often focused on advocacy, research, and service delivery. NGOs play an important role in the public sector, providing services and advocating for policy changes that benefit the public. They often work in partnership with governments and other organizations to address issues such as poverty, health, education, and the environment. NGOs also provide a platform for citizens to engage in public policy debates and to hold governments accountable. Examples of NGOs in the public sector include Oxfam, Amnesty International, the World Wildlife Fund, the International Rescue Committee, and the Red Cross. Show Less Read more
