HUMANITARIAN
AID
Humanitarian aid is material or logistical assistance provided for
humanitarian purposes, typically in response to humanitarian crises
including natural disaster and man-made disaster. The primary
objective of humanitarian aid is to save lives, alleviate suffering,
and maintain human dignity. It may therefore be distinguished from
development aid, which seeks to address the underlying socioeconomic
factors which may have led to a crisis or emergency.

SECTION 3
HUMANITARIANISM
In its most general form, humanitarianism is an ethic of kindness,
benevolence, and sympathy extended universally and impartially to
all human beings. Humanitarianism has been an evolving concept
historically but universality is a common element in its evolution.
No distinction is to be made in the face of suffering or abuse on
grounds of gender, sexual orientation, tribe, caste, age, religion,
or nationality.
Humanitarianism can also be described as the acceptance of every
human being for plainly just being another human, ignoring and
abolishing biased social views, prejudice, and racism in the
process, if utilized individually as a practiced viewpoint, or
mindset.

INTERNATIONAL
NONGOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATION
The World Bank defines a non-governmental organization (NGO) as
"private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering,
promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide
basic social services, or undertake community development".
An international non-governmental organization (INGO) has the same
mission as a non-governmental organization (NGO), but it is
international in scope and has outposts around the world to deal
with specific issues in many countries.
Both terms, NGO and INGO, should be differentiated from intergovernmental
organizations (IGOs), which describes groups such as the United Nations
or the International Labour Organization. An INGO may be founded by
private philanthropy, such as the Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates and Ford
Foundations, or as an adjunct to existing international organizations,
such as the Catholic or Lutheran churches. A surge in the founding of
development INGOs occurred during World War II, some of which would later
become the large development INGOs like Oxfam, Catholic Relief Services,
CARE International, and Lutheran World Relief.
International Non-governmental Organizations can further be defined by
their primary purpose. Some INGOs are operational, meaning that their
primary purpose is to foster the community based organizations within
each country via different projects and operations. Some INGOs are
advocacy-based, meaning that their primary purpose is to influence the
policy-making of different countries’ governments regarding certain
issues or promote the awareness of a certain issue. Many of the large
INGOs have components of both operational projects and advocacy
initiatives working together within individual countries.
