27th February is World NGO Day. On 27 February 1948, United Nations’ resolution introduced the definition of International NGOs. This was an important mention in the history of NGO sector. To recognize and highlight the effort of NGOs around the world that have been making difference in the lives and communities they work, World NGO Day Initiative was created a few years back.
