DEVELOPMENT
NGOs
Development NGOs are non-governmental organizations that work to
improve the lives of the world’s poorest and most disenfranchised.
Development NGOs may work at the local, national, or international
level and focus in areas of poverty, social inequality, environmental
degradation and more. These NGOs aim to foster sustainable development,
positive change that will not compromise the future of communities.
The work of development NGOs may include projects in agriculture, food
security, youth development, microfinance, health, nutrition, and
sanitation. Other NGOs may provide immediate relief to communities facing
humanitarian crises, while others work as policy advocates. The current
number of international NGOs is estimated at 40,000, while domestic NGOs
exceed this number (India has roughly 3.3 million NGOs).

WHAT
IS A
DEVELOPMENT
NGOs
Development or operational NGOs refer to those that design and
implement projects,"on the ground."
Providing aid and implementing it requires development NGOs to
mobilize an array of resources, meaning that they relying heavily
on financial and material donations as well as volunteers.
While the structure of development NGOs varies widely, they generally
have a headquarters and a field staff, making the opportunities for
involvement wide ranging.
Because development NGOs rely heavily on volunteers, they offer a
myriad of volunteer options in both in their offices and in the field.
While it is often assumed that development projects take place abroad,
building homes and wells or providing healthcare to those in far off
nations, there are many opportunities to volunteer locally. When
volunteering with development based NGOs locally, the type of projects
you are likely to be involved with vary, depending on if the
organizations' projects involve those in your local community, nationally
or internationally.
Where the organization provides aid will greatly determine the type of
development project you are likely to be involved with, however, options
that tend to take place locally, regardless of where the aid is being
delivered, often includes those revolving fundraising.
Popular activities include events like walks or charity dinners. When
volunteering for events like these, you will likely be involved in
preparing for the event, assisting with tasks involving registration,
as well as during the event helping to execute the event.
