Abstract: The term NGO has been used more specifically to encompass nonprofit organizations engaged in international programs. In recent years, what Professor Lester Salamon of the Institute of Policy Studies of Johns Hopkins University has referred to as the 'nonprofit sector' seems popular worldwide. He defines nonprofit organizations as 'organizations that share seven common features: they are formally constituted; organizationally separate from government; non-profit-seeking; self-governing; voluntary to some significant degree; nonreligious; and nonpolitical (Salamon and Anheier 1994).' To avoid confusion, the term 'NGO' is used in this paper in reference to nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations that are independent from any particular government office or private corporation and which are pursuing public interests.
