3. WHAT IS AN NGO ?
• A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally
constituted organization that operates independently from any
form of government.
• The term originated from the United Nations (UN), and is
normally used to refer to organizations that are not a part of
the government and are not conventional for-profit business.
• In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by
governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status
by excluding government representatives from membership in
the organization.
• The term is usually applied only to organizations that pursue
wider social aims that have political aspects, but are not openly
political organizations such as political parties.

Defining NGOs in China
The official Chinese term for NGOs is ‘popular
organization’. This comprises two
subcategories, ‘social organization’ and
‘private non enterprise unit’ (PNEU). Both
types of organization are nonprofitmaking,
but social organizations are membership
based whereas PNEUs are not.

10. NGOs IN AMERICA
In America the term NGO refers to a legal
distinction, it is an institution outside of the
government. The legal framework was not
prepared for these new organizations, and
the great majority despite their significant
differences, are either "citizens associations-
or "foundations," in both cases non profit.
The growth of NGOs was explosive in
America, especially since the 70s.
11. PROBLEMS FACED BY
AMERICAN NGOS
1. The strengthening of public policies
2. Deconstruction of globalization
3. Weakening of politics

12. CONCLUSION
NGOs are the ones who really intend to
care the uncared sections and the people at
the bottom of the social stratum. Ours is an
developing country which requires these
type of committed, devoted and dedicated
organizations for the development of the
country. So, the government, the leaders, the
donors, the politicians and the people should
support these organizations and help them to
solve their problems at the grass-root level.
Than only their services are undoubtedly
commendable in the uplift of the rural poor.
