(both public and private, each pursuing its own objectives and priorities, with its own clientele and constituency, with its own technical language and
organizational culture, with its own mandate and specialized focus)

they are more inward looking, focusing more on how
to evaluate and try to improve their own performance than on how to work together with partners to achieve common objectives
Nongovernmental organizations have proliferated to represent the interests of civil society, business, labor, and religions on issues such as environmental protection, property rights, workers’ rights, poverty
reduction, financial stability, and the promotion of democracy and transparency in government.
