Ngos: non-governmental organizations; private organizations that promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services or undertake community development. There funding depends largely on donations and volunteering ex: food share, toronto environmental alliance. Ingos: international non-governmental organizations ex: world vision, oxfam, doctors without borders. Third sector organizations: not belonging to either the state or the market. Cbos: ngos are distinct from community-based organizations; membership orgns made up of a group of individuals who join together to further their interests ex: neighborhood associations, women"s coops (gros: grassroots organizations - same thing as cbo) Over the last several decades we see ngo"s have became more popular and taken a more active role. Since mid-1970s explosive growth in ngos in the development process. Just like any other organization, there are good ngo"s that are actually effective and those that are overstaffed, unorganized and don"t do much.
