One key purpose of Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) is to cover for basic needs that have been unfulfilled due to societal dilemmas and conflicts. NGOs provide stability for the survival of populations in need. They also aim to change things at root level, so that harm recedes and distributive equity increases. When disasters strike, they come to protect, feed, heal and help people return to a normal life. After humanitarian emergency work, development can (re)start.
Humanitarian and development programmes include peace education, environmental care, crisis management, human rights protection, good governance and economic health towards sustainable development. Small and large NGOs play an essential role in vigilance against wrongdoings as well as constant mitigation between unchecked opportunities and societal accountability by stakeholders.
