It defines NGOs as non-profit organizations that operate independently of governments, CBOs as grassroots organizations formed and run by community members, and INGOs as international NGOs overseen by Nepal's Social Welfare Council. There are around 54035 NGOs and 207 actively working INGOs in Nepal.

6. What are NGOs, CBOs, and INGOs?
 NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, are typically
non-profit organizations that operate independently of any
government. They often focus on specific issues such as
health, education, or human rights. Around 54035 NGOs
Eg: Nepal Red Cross Society,FPAN etc
 CBOs, or community-based organizations, are grassroots
organizations that are usually formed and run by members
of a particular community. They often have a strong
connection to the local culture and can be effective at
addressing community-specific issues.
Eg,Youth club,children club,mother groups,sports club etc

7. INGOs IN
NEPAL
 Around 207 INGOs are actively working in Nepal.
 They are overseen and regulated by the Social Welfare
Council (SWC) of the Government of Nepal. An INGO gets
permission through a general agreement with the Social
Welfare Council on a periodic basis.
 INGOs have played a key role in supporting local
organizations to carry out development activities in the far
and remote areas of Nepal–such areas which are deprived of
regular development initiatives, where the government’s
presence is minimal and which are ‘hard-to-reach’ due to
conflicts and other reasons.

8. • In terms of community health development, these organizations play important roles.
• NGOs often provide funding and expertise for health programs in areas where
governments may not have the resources to do so. CBOs can help to identify and address
health issues that are specific to a particular community. INGOs can bring together
experts from different countries to share knowledge and resources.
• For example, an NGO might fund a program to provide vaccines to children in a rural
area, while a CBO might organize a community health fair to raise awareness about the
importance of regular check-ups. An INGO might work with governments and other
organizations to develop policies and programs that improve maternal and child health
across multiple countries.

development. They work towards improving access to healthcare
services, providing education on health-related issues, and promoting
healthy behaviors. According to the World Health Organization, NGOs
provide up to 50% of healthcare services in some countries.
• In the last six decades, the number and presence of INGOs have
considerably grown in Nepal. In the aftermath of the devastating 2015
earthquakes, many humanitarian INGOs made their presence in Nepal
and contributed to the disaster, response, and recovery efforts.

health services including blood transformation, health education, health service,
family planning, ARI and AMS programs; disaster management including
prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and rescue and relief activities,family

Conclusion
 The NGOs/INGOs are non-profitable institutions.
 NGOs mostly focus on sectors like: agricultural expansion,
irrigation,forestry,drinking water,basic and primary education,primary
health care etc while INGOs focus on awareness raising, group formation
and credit,area development,health and humanitarian assistance etc
 There is no doubt that NGOs/lNGOs play a pivotal role in Community
Development, but due to the lack of sustainability and accountability the
beneficial and effective results have not materialised.Channel of their
funding and financing mechanisms are not transparent. For solving this
problem the government should be able to monitor, guide and facilitate
their activities to empower the people.
