NGOs

First of all is important define the concept of non-governmental organization (NGO), we are using two different definitions. The first concept following the United Nations Organization (UN) definition and the other address the general concept.

According to the United Nations Organization, a Non Governmental Organization is: “is a not-for-profit, voluntary citizens’ group, which is organized on a local, national or international level to address issues in support of the public good. Task-oriented and made up of people with common interests, NGOs perform a variety of services and humanitarian functions, bring citizens’ concerns to governments, monitor policy and programme implementation, and encourage participation of civil society stakeholders at the community level. They provide analysis and expertise, serve as early warning mechanisms, and help monitor and implement international agreements. Some are organized around specific issues, such as human rights, the environment or health. Their relationship with offices and agencies of the United Nations (UN) system differs depending on their location and their mandate.” http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/criteria.asp

And Following Wikipedia, NGO is: “a legally constituted organization created by private persons or organizations with no participation or representation of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status insofar as it excludes government representatives from membership in the organization.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGO

Relation Management

Wanted: a partner for a long-standing relationship, with this appeal, the Relation Management Department started a number of activities to strengthen the co-operation with Dutch educational institutions, capital funds, foundations, companies, service clubs and financial institutions. This co-operation is important, because poverty and injustice can only be fought with joint efforts. Especially innovative types of co-operation are sought, while the use of expertise and influence are at least as important as income acquisition. The last mentioned is obviously not unimportant either, as a result of which the fund-raising efforts of the Relation Management Department in 2006 have resulted in proceeds of 6.6 million due to contributions from companies, capital funds, educational institutions, ecclesiastical institutions and service clubs.
