Non-Governmental Organizations of the World

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Non-governmental Organizations, or NGOs play a major role in raising awareness and creating positive change for many of the world's issues, from education to medicine to nature conservation. This book serves as a guide to understanding the nature of NGOs and their role in the world. International laws and conventions which shape their rights and abilities are discussed. The four primary types of NGOs are considered and differentiated from each other. Finally, the book examines some of the most well-known or wide-reaching NGOs of today.
