SECTION 2
TYPES
OF
NGOs
BY
ORIENTATION
AND LEVEL
OF
OPERATION
NGO types can be understood by their orientation and level of ooperation.
NGO types by orientation:
Charitable Orientation often involves a top-down paternalistic effort
with little participation by the "beneficiaries". It includes NGOs with
activities directed toward meeting the needs of the poor -distribution
of food, clothing or medicine; provision of housing, transport, schools
etc. Such NGOs may also undertake relief activities during a natural or
man-made disaster.
Service Orientation includes NGOs with activities such as the provision
of health, family pplanning or education services in which the programme
is designed by the NGO and people are expected to participate in its
impementation and in receiving the service.
Participatory Orientation is characterized by self-help projects where
local people are involved particularly in the implementation of a project
by contributing cash, tools, land, materials, labour etc. In the classical
community development project, participation begins with the need definition
and continues into the planning and implementation stages. Cooperatives
often have a participatory orientation.
Empowering Orientation is where the aim is to help poor people develop
a clearer understanding of the social, political and economic factors
affecting their lives, and to strengthen their awareness of their own
potential power to control their lives. Sometimes, these groups develop
spontaneously aroud a problem or an issue, at other times outside workers
from NGOs play a facilitating role in their development. In any case,
there is maximum involvement of the people with NGOs acting as facilitators.
NGO Types by level of operation:
Community-based Organizations (CBOs) arise out of people's own initiatives.
These can include sports clubs, women's organizations, neighbourhood
organizations, religious or educational organizations. There are a large
variety of these, some supported by NGOs, national or international NGOs, or
bilateral or international agencies, and others independent of outside help.
Some are devoted to rising the consciousness of the urban poor or helping
them to understand their rights in gaining access to needed services while
others are involved in providing such services.
Citywide Organizations include organizations such as the Rotary or lion's
Club, chambers of commerce andindustry, coalitions of business, ethnic or
educational groups and associations of community organizations. Some exist
for other purposes, and become involved in helping the poor as one of many
activities, while others are created for the specific purpose of helping
the poor.
National NGOs include organizations such as the Red Cross, YMCAs/YWCAs,
professional organizations etc. Some of these have state and cuty branches
and assist local NGOs.
International NGOs range from secular gencies such as Redda BArna and Save
the Children organizations, OXFAM, CARE, Ford and Rockefeller Foundations
to religiously motivated groups. Their activities vary from mainly funding
local NGOs, institutions and projects, to implementing the projects
themselves.

WHAT ARE THE
DIRRERENT
TYPES
OF
SOCIAL
NGOs?
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are usually nonprofit
entities that aim to help society in ways that governments
cannot. Social NGOs most often work for a society as a whole,
though some of these organizations may work on behalf of
specific groups. Common types include social public service,
international welfare, and government-sponsored entities.
Each type helps individuals to achieve some type of goal; in
some cases, social NGOs may be better at allocating resources
due to the lack of government bureaucracy. These organizations
also encourage volunteers to help work on various projects,
which result in individuals essentially helping individuals.
Public service social NGOs are exactly what they sound like —
entities that engage in a service for an entire society,
whether local or national. These organizations may carry goals
of promoting the spirit of public service or creating a civil
society among individuals. In short, the goals of these social
NGOs are mostly altruistic and may work beyond the standards of
governments. A board of directors usually acts as management for
these NGOs and selects goals or allocates resources necessary to
complete tasks. Some government funding may be found in these
organization types.
International welfare NGOs are another common type of organization
that may fall under the broad description of social NGOs. These
organizations work specifically with promoting democracy or other
altruistic goals in other countries. In most cases, social NGOs
operate in a democratic or other stabilized country; their goal is
to spread democracy to countries that do not have such freedom. An
international welfare NGO may have multiple locations or partners
in order to succeed. For example, a home base in the original
country may also have locations in the countries in which it works.
Government-sponsored entities are a form of social NGO that works
closely with the government on certain operations. In some cases,
these organizations make the work of government more palatable to
those in society who may be leery of the government as a whole.
For example, governments may appropriate funds for certain types
of work, with the funds going to specific social NGOs prior to the
final goal or end project. The government may be able to control
the work of these organizations more than other types of NGOs in
society. This can be both good and bad as most NGOs typically want
to work outside the bounds of government control in order to promote
proper society.
