NGOs always have a complex, dynamic, multi-faceted, multi-layered, interdependent, changing and evolving relationship with governments. Good cooperation between NGOs and government benefits the both as well as broader general public interest.
In many international organizations and countries NGOs play important roles in the policy-building and decision-making processes. Incorporating NGOs to these processes improves the quality of public services, increases the effectiveness of public policies, makes these policies solution-oriented and enhances social capital.
