Non-Governmental Organisation
(NGO)
• a non-profit organization that operates
independently of any government, typically one
whose purpose is to address a social or political
issue
• Eg: WWF Malaysia, Mercy Malaysia, Payong
Malaysia, PIBG and other community
associations
Challenges Faced by NGO
• 1. Poor networking
Poor networking may lead to time inefficiencies,
conflicting strategies and lack of experience. The
usage of current technologies for networking and
communication are not being maximized by
many NGOs.
• 2. Limited capacity
NGOs often lack of organizational capacity to
fulfill their goals and only a few are willing to
invest in training for capacity building. This
problem may lead to lack of fundraising,
technical and leadership issues.
• 3. Lack of funds
Since NGOs have poor networking, it is harder
for them to gain access to appropriate donors.
Instead, they waited for donors to approach
them, and this may lead to financial
unsustainability.
