Abstract
In the last chapter we looked at international NGOs (INGOs) but this chapter will look more closely at country NGOs (CYNGOs), alternatively referred to elsewhere as indigenous or national NGOs. We define CYNGOs as NGOs which are totally operational, managed and accountable within a single country. Even working within the limitations of our definition of an NGO this is an extremely diverse set of organizations. Our discussion therefore will concentrate on providing a framework to assist understanding the CYNGO sector within a single country or situation. Wherever possible, we limit our discussion to CYNGOs within the health sector.
