UN System Engagement with NGOs, Civil Society, the Private Sector and Other Actors (October 2005)the chicken wrote: Non Governmental Organization? Not For Profit Organization? So what is the UN? My prior post made it clear what the UN is. Why don't share your thought what the UN is.
This Compendium seeks to demystify the way that the UN system works and provides entry points for NGOs, CSOs and others that wish to constructively engage on the issues on the UN system’s global agenda. We
hope that this will be particularly useful for developing-country NGOs that see at the national level and at first hand, the impact, or not, of international organizations and internationally decided policy frameworks. Since NGLS’s outreach capacity will allow the Compendium to reach thousands of NGOs across the world, we see this publication,with its wealth of information sources and resources, as part of a response to the challenge recognized by the Secretary-General’s Panel of Eminent Persons on UN-Civil Society Relations, of connecting better the global to the regional, national and local levels https://www.globalpolicy.org/images/pdf ... endium.pdf
NGO vs Non-Profit Organizations
On the other hand, the non-profit organization does not divide its extra funds between its shareholders, or owners, but uses them for the organization’s purposes. Examples of these organizations are public arts organizations, trade unions and charitable organizations. They offer services and programs through federal, local or state entities. Non-profit organizations hire management personnel, and aim to raise substantial funds. These organizations are service organizations or charities that are established for co-operative, trust or purely informal reasons. NPOs are also known as endowments, or foundations that have huge stock funds. A supporting organization is similar to a non-profit organization, and also operates as a foundation, but they have more complicated structures.http://www.differencebetween.net/busine ... nizations/
