NGO no-governemental-organitzation is a private organization and independent from the govern . the words they often use to say are protection of nature, culture and society. The Ngo usually non profeet making because their recourses are private . The NGO can be international or regional and the NGO usually are members of the United Nations. History The words no-governemental-organitzation were usd for the first tim in 1947 in the United Nations and the NGO definition was created on 27 febroury of 1950in the resolution 288 of ECODOC. Since hen have gone from 41 NGO’s in 1950 to 2350 NGO in 2003 One of the most ancient is the red cross. The globalitzation in the XX century increaredthe importance of the Ngo. A lot of problems were solved by Ngo’s NGO’s work in public health, humanitarian help, human right and the economic development etc. they didn’t replce the countries actions if not help where help is missing. At a local level the NGO’s has acted with children in the streets, consumer rights, social investigation etc. INGO stands for international NGO, such as Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontieres; BINGO is short for business-oriented international NGO; ENGO, short for environmental NGO, such as Global 2000; GONGOs are government-operated NGOs, which may have been set up by governments to look like NGOs in order to qualify for outside aid or promote the interests of the government in question; QUANGOs are quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is actually not purely an NGO, since its membership is by nation, and each nation is represented by what the ISO Council determines to be the 'most broadly representative' standardization body of a nation. Now, such a body might in fact be a nongovernmental organization-for example, the United States is represented in ISO by the American National Standards Institute, which is independent of the federal government. However, other countries can be represented by national governmental agencies--this is the trend in Europe. There are also numerous classifications of NGOs. The typology the World Bank uses divides them into Operational and Advocacy:[8]

The primary purpose of an operational NGO is the design and implementation of development-related projects. One categorization that is frequently used is the division into 'relief-oriented' or 'development-oriented' organizations; they can also be classified according to whether they stress service delivery or participation; or whether they are religious and secular; and whether they are more public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs can be communitybased, national or international. The primary purpose of an Advocacy NGO is to defend or promote a specific cause. As opposed to operational project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness, acceptance and knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist events. USAID refers to NGOs as private voluntary organizations. However many scholars have argued that this definition is highly problematic as many NGOs are in fact state and corporate funded and managed projects with professional staff. NGOs exist for a variety of reasons, usually to further the political or social goals of their members or funders. Examples include improving the state of the natural environment, encouraging the observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number of such organizations and their goals cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to private schools and athletic organizations.
