Abstract: Abstract Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in advancing progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, by addressing a myriad of global issues such as pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, declining water levels, depletion of national resources, poverty eradication, and health challenges. The chapter explores the pivotal question: How does sustainable development impact the operations of non-governmental organizations? This chapter aims to identify existing studies that delve into the intersection of sustainable development and NGOs while selecting virtuous examples/models from international NGOs in effectively implementing SDGs. The chapter presents an analysis of best practices employed by NGOs towards sustainability issues aiming to provide future directions. Our findings reveal that NGOs actively develop and operate community-based groups to improve and maintain infrastructure, foster entrepreneurship, support startups and innovation work and involve in a diverse array of activities contributing to sustainable development.
