Description
Summary:The sociopolitical significance of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the developing countries has received considerable attention from academic and development circles and among donors. When the top-down "blueprint" approach of the public sector fell into ill-repute, funding increased for NGOs beginning in the late 1960s.

International NGOs expanded their levels of operations to cover more countries.
