New chapter of NGO

1. NGO
A non-governmental organization is an
organization that generally is formed
independent from government. They are
typically nonprofit entities, and many of them
are active in humanitarianism or the social
sciences; they can also include clubs and
associations that provide services to their
members and others.

2. Civil society
• Civil society is the aggregate of non-governmental
organizations and institutions that involve diverse
cultural, religious, and special interest groups that
represent and implement the interests and will of
citizens and enforce social norms. For example,
CSOs can be community-based organisations,
village associations, environmental groups,
women’s rights groups, farmers’ associations, faith-
based organisations, labour unions, and co-
operatives

3. Civil society
organisations :
• Non-State, not-for-profit, voluntary entities formed
by people in the social sphere that are separate
from the State and the market. CSOs represent a
wide range of interests and ties. They can include
community-based organizations as well as non-
governmental organizations (NGOs). In the context
of the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework,
CSOs do not include business or for-profit
associations.

4. Difference between civil
society and NGO
• 1.Civil society is an association rather than a family or state
acting as a proactive part of economic, social and cultural
activity. NGOs are non-profit organisations backed by a
group of volunteers organised at regional, local or
international levels.:2. The roles defined for governance and
administration are a part of civil society. The non-
performance of functions by a state leads to the rise of
NGOs. The growth of NGOs in a civil society highlights the
state’s declining governance and legitimacy.3.The goal of
civil society is to implement the fundamental rights, duties
and DPSP. The role of NGOs appears when the state
consists of entrenched interests and functioning making it
unable to work with its people.

5. The strengthening of
civil society :
• When governments fail to act in the public interest, and
opposition parties are unwilling or unable to offer a credible
alternative, it is up to civil society organizations to identify
abuses and advocate for reforms.There are three levels for
this work. The first is the Organisational level, A second is
the sectoral level, A third is the societal level. For
example,Churches and other faith-based organizations.
Online groups and social media communities.
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other
nonprofits.Unions and other collective-bargaining groups.
Innovators, entrepreneurs, and activists.

6. From civil society to the
third sector ---
• Civil society is the “third sector” of society, along
with government and business. It comprises civil
society organizations and non-governmental
organizations. The UN recognizes the importance of
partnering with civil society, because it advances
the Organization’s ideals, and helps support its work

7. Conclusion
• • CSOs/NGOs have significantly contribute to
economic and social development in Cambodia.•
For sustainability of their funding, CSOs/NGOs
need to have a long term planning.• Coordination
among the CSOs/NGOs is important to ensure
effectiveness.• Building capacity of the community is
an importance for NGOs that need to be
considered.• Social entrepreneurship is a
movement toward self-reliance.
