2. The term NGO was first introduced in Article 71 of the newly-
formed United Nation’s Charter in 1945. At the very beginning,
their activities were only welfare oriented. Their aim was human
well being and social welfare. But the idea has been changed now.
A non government organization (NGO) refers to a non-profit
group that functions independently of any govt. In a developing
country like Bangladesh where various types of problems are exist
like poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, illiteracy etc can’t be
solved by the government alone. Ngo activities have become one
of the most well-known suffixes in the poorest countries of the
world.

4. Now days Non -Governmental organisation or NGOs
have become an extensively discussed theme in the
third world countries as well vastly in social business
world. Bangladesh is no exceptional. These
organisations are working based on the assessed
need and demand of the grass root level farmers and
women. By involving the beneficiaries directly they
are Working with in the context of overall national
planning for development. Effectiveness of micro -
credit programmes in socio-economic development :

credit on the overall
socioeconomic development. The

Bangladesh.

income for the landless poor irrespective
of gender and to provide unsecured
loans as cash or instrument of
production for livelihood. Grameen Bank
provides loans from its own funds for
processing and manufacturing,
agriculture and forestry, service sector,
business, rickshaw pullers or grocers.
Besides, it provides loans on easy terms
by forming a team of 5 people at the
village level.

8. In the end, it turns out that the work style of NGOs has changed a lot.
The medium through which they used to do development work has
now changed. Earlier they only talked about welfare or the main goal
of NGO was to do welfare but now it has become a development base.
Talking or reasoning about how people, society, group or community
has developed. How it is done and in what cases it is done is
highlighted. At present work has been developed in almost all sectors.

untended population of the society,

acknowledged. It was proven that the active
Presences of NGOs are a boon for the overall
and social development of Bangladesh.

9. Relationship between NGOs and government as partner:
 Existing collaboration between government and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in health care, using as an example the
implementation of the DOTS (formerly an abbreviation for directly
observed treatment, short course) strategy for tuberculosis (TB) control
in Bangladesh.
 The Government of Bangladesh to improve health services delivery,
especially for the poor collaborates with NGOs.
 It is the responsibility of the government to assure health care
provision for the whole population. But the public health agenda has
become so large that the governments of these countries have been
unable to provide adequate health care. In this case, NGOs collaborate
with government.
 In Bangladesh, for instance, the government and NGOs collaborate to
a certain degree to provide health care, especially to vulnerable
populations such as women, children and the poor.
 Within collaboration, the government retains ownership in
the areas of policy formulation and implementation,
human resource development and budgetary control.
 NGOs concentrate on facilitating the activities
within national policies and strategies. NGOs
provide quality services in accordance
with the national policy guidelines.

10.  There is a relationship between
the government and NGOs in order
to develop consistent and
workable policy, clear
understanding of the nature,
principles, strengths and
weaknesses, and challenges.
 Government–NGO collaboration
in the health sector is not new in
Bangladesh. Collaboration
between the government and
NGOs in TB, maternal and child
health and family planning,
Extended Programme of
Immunization, leprosy elimination
and nutritional programmes has
been efficient and effective. (For
examples- CARE-Bangladesh's
reproductive health project,
BRAC's health and development
programmes, and the leprosy
control programmes of Health,
Education and Economic
Development (HEED) are among
many outstanding examples of
successful government–NGO
collaboration.)

11. There is increasing cooperation and
collaboration between the
government and NGOs, particularly in
poverty alleviation, health, education
and other social welfare activities.
 Furthermore, local government
structures play an important role in
maintaining good relationships with
NGOs in coordinating health and
other NGO-run activities at local levels
(World Bank).
 In particular, local governments are
collaborating with NGOs in selecting
sites for Community Clinics, and in
social mobilization and sanitation
programmers.
