The term NGO originated from United Nations and normally refers to organization that are not a part of a government and are not conventional for profit business . The term is usually applied to organizations that pursue wider social aims and have political aspects but are not organizations such as political parties. NGOs can be distinguished into two groups:
Operational NGOs : have to mobilize resources. Finance obtained from grants or contracts, from governments, foundations or companies, require time and expertise spent on planning, preparing applications, budgeting, accounting and reporting. Major fund-raising events require skills in advertising, media relations and motivating supporters.
Advocacy NGO – The main purpose of an Advocacy NGO is to promote a specific cause. It makes efforts to raise awareness and knowledge by doing various activities like lobbying, press work and activist events. Advocacy NGOs will carry out much the same functions, but with a different balance between them. Fund-raising is still necessary, but on a smaller scale and it can serve the symbolic function of strengthening the donor's identification with the cause.
Operational NGOs often move into advocacy when projects regularly face similar problems and the impact of the projects seems to be insufficient.
