Role of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Policy Making
1. Advocacy and Awareness:
NGOs play a crucial role in advocating for marginalized communities by raising awareness about their issues. For example, PRATHAM, an NGO focused on education, has influenced policies related to primary education through its Annual Status of Education Report (ASER).
2. Research and Data Collection:
NGOs provide valuable data and research that can shape policy decisions. Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has contributed to environmental policies by providing research on pollution and climate change.
3. Public Mobilization:
NGOs mobilize public opinion, influencing policymakers to consider the needs of vulnerable groups. SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association) has been instrumental in advocating for women’s rights and labor policies.
4. Collaboration with Government:
NGOs often collaborate with government bodies to implement and monitor policies. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has worked with the Indian government on public health initiatives, influencing health policy.
