NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS: CONTRIBUTIONS IN A CHANGING WORLD

Trends on Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and their impact in the changing world are emerging issues in the academic literature. Although documentations on NGOs are farfetched, scholars on the subject have delved into research in successive turns since the late 1990s. The Non-involvement of the down trodden-the peasants, rural dwellers, women and children and the handicapped on political, economic and social spheres have had a negative impact on development globally. That is why, issues on Non-Governmental Organizations couldn’t have come at a better time than now.

The book is also recommended for students at both tertiary and pre-tertiary levels of the academia
