Abstract
Citizens voluntarily form nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) for the expressed purposes of advancing public and community welfare. These organizations are rapidly growing and becoming a significant part of modern societies everywhere. They are blossoming throughout the world and dependence on them is increasing by citizens, governments, and by international organizations such as the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)—both of which have commissioned expert manuscripts on the roles that NGOs as well as social capital may play in increasing the effectiveness of their programs.
