Over millennia human societies across the globe established progressively closer contacts to the recent pace of global integration. Unparalleled changes in communications, transportation, and computer technology have made the world more interdependent than ever. Multinational corporations manufacture products in many countries and sell to consumers the world over. Money, technology and commodities move swiftly across national borders. Beside products and finances, ideas and cultures circulate freely which has resulted, in laws, economies, and social movements being formed at the international level. The great financial crisis of 2008-09 has revealed the dangers of an unstable, deregulated, global economy but it has also given rise to important global initiatives for change.
NGOs depend on money from a variety of sources, including individual donors, foundations, corporations, and governments. An NGO is bounded to what it can and cannot do to where the money comes from affecting the effectiveness and neutrality of NGOs. Funding Issues have become particularly challenging, following the economic crisis.
NGOs are the representatives of independent citizen organizations that are increasingly active in policy making at the United Nations. These organizations are often the most effective voices for the concerns of ordinary people in the international arena. NGOs include the most outspoken advocates of human rights, the environment, social programs, women's rights and many more issues.
