World NGO Day.

 

                               World NGO Day was born in London, the brainchild of Marcis Liors Skadmanis. It is an international calendar day held on 27th February every year to celebrate, commemorate and collaborate with the various NGOs around the world. Officially recognized and declared by the 12 member countries of the IX Baltic Sea NGO Forum of the Council of the Baltic Sea States in 2010 and first time marked by the UN, EU leaders and international organizations in 2014.

History of NGO Day

World NGO Day is an international calendar day annually observed on the 27th of February. World NGO Day aims to inspire people to become more actively involved within NGOs (Charities, NPOs, CSOs) and encourage a greater symbiosis between NGOs and both the public and private sector. The universal concept of the World NGO Day is Celebrate, Commemorate and Collaborate the various NGOs around the world, and the people behind them.

World NGO Day is a day for NGOs around the globe to share knowledge and experiences with one another. It aims to educate individuals worldwide on NGOs and their impact. The World NGO Day provides an opportunity to honour and remember NGO founders, employees, volunteers, members and supporters.

Thinking of organising your World NGO Day?:

A day for NGOs around the globe to share knowledge and experiences with one another. An opportunity for education, enabling individuals worldwide to understand more clearly what NGOs are doing for society locally, nationally and internationally.

An international symbol that displays the efforts and achievements of all NGOs from all sectors. An opportunity to inspire people to consider a career within the third sector.

An opportunity for individuals to learn more about the people behind NGOs. An opportunity for NGOs to discuss the issues that affect their work, and form partnerships that can resolve a mutual problem.

How many NGOs are there today?

There are an estimated 10 million (non-governmental organizations) NGOs worldwide. 2. The number of people worldwide donating money to NGOs increased from 1.2 billion in 2011 to 1.4 billion in 2014. By 2030, the number is expected to grow to 2.5 billion.

Which country has the most NGOs in the world?

India has one NGO for every 600 people, the Central Bureau of Investigation announced last week. But given India's large population, this mammoth figure of two million non-profit organisations is not as large as it seems.

What is the most successful NGO?

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — 27 February 2019 — BRAC, the largest non-governmental organisation in the world and global leader in developing cost-effective, evidence-based programs in conflict-prone and post-disaster settings, was today announced the world's number one NGO of 2019 by NGO Advisor, an independent media .

Formal standards of animal welfare vary between contexts but are debated mostly by animal welfare groups, legislators, and academics. Animal welfare science uses measures such as longevity, disease, immunosuppression, behavior, physiology, and reproduction, although there is debate about which of these best indicate animal welfare. Respect for animal welfare is often based on the belief that nonhuman animals are   sentient   and that consideration should be given to their   well-being   or   suffering , especially when they are under the care of humans.   These concerns can include how animals are   slaughtered   for food, how they are used in   scientific research , how they are kept (as pets, in zoos, farms, circuses, etc.), and how human activities affect the welfare and survival of wild species. There are two forms of critic...

How Smart are Cats?

How Smart are Cats? Cats certainly seem intelligent. Our cats always know exactly what time their breakfast should be and that the sight of the cat carrier means a dreaded trip to the vets. They seem to be able to anticipate our every move and know what we’re thinking, but we never feel like we know what’s going on in their brains. This is largely due to cats being mysterious creatures and the fact that they have eluded scientists because of their reluctance to participate in studies.  How intelligent are cats? It turns out that cats have a brain structure that’s similar to other intelligent animals, including humans. It may come as a surprise to learn that your little cat’s brain structure is about 90 percent similar to yours! And according to Psychology Today, a cat’s cerebral cortex – where rational decision making and complex problem solving takes place – has around 300 million neurons. The cerebral cortex is involved in the planning of action, overall interpretation of la...
