7. Roles of NGOs
Non-governmental organizations are one very crucial and significant sector in the development of
every country especially talking about Pakistan which is still a developing country and is striving
hard to sustain their efforts for attaining the development. Role of NGOs in Pakistan Development.
NGO’s are those respective organizations which are not under the control neither federal nor the
provincial government but are being owned by either the foreign country’s groups or even
domestic people who are working for the beneficial of the humanity and for the cause of national
survival and development.
In Pakistan there are so many NGO’s which are working hard for the survival of humanity and for
the sake of people. NGO’s are playing one of the very crucial roles in the development of Pakistan
because they are taking care of those sectors, those people which were neglected by the both
federal and provincial government. The working of NGO’s has so many benefits for a country and
helps them attain the development because the major benefit is that they share the burden with
the local government. In Pakistan the government is not that much stable neither they have
unlimited resources which can enable them to work on such projects but through the introduction
and working of several renowned NGO’s they have shared the burden with the government as the
load of such activities have been reduced.
