Specification 6.2c · Paper 2, Paper 3
A non-governmental organisation: an organisation independent of government that works towards aims such as reducing poverty or protecting the environment.
Revise: Development StrategiesBottom-up development starts with community needs and involves local people in decisions, often alongside non-governmental organisations (NGOs). These projects are usually smaller and relatively low-cost.
Use ‘bottom-up’, not ‘bottom-down’: communities and NGOs help identify needs and develop solutions.
