Synopsis

The term nongovernmental organization, or ''NGO,'' was first formalized within the United Nations system in 1945 with its inclusion in Article 71 of the United Nations Charter. Article 71 provides the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations with the power to make suitable arrangements for consultation with non-governmental organizations which are concerned with matters within its competence. The NGOs are significant world-wide as political and social actors operating in rural and urban sites of Asia and frequently linked in dependent roles with their principle donors in Europe, the US, The IMF, World Bank, multi-national corporations, private banks, etc. who fix the macroeconomic agenda for the pillage of the Third World. The NGOs used their grass roots rhetoric, organizational resources and their status as ''democratic'' human right advocates channeling popular support behind politicians and parties which confined the transition to legal-political reforms not socio-economic changes. NGOs demobilized the populace and fragmented the movements.
