Environment

NGOs are important especially in areas where the government cannot serve adequately in addressing the issues of environmental management. Here, NGOs create awareness by allowing the public to debate environmental issues with professional guidance. Such awareness and advocacy is paramount in promoting certain concepts like restoration of ecosystems, sustainable development and conservation of natural resources. Sustainable development is a key factor because it embraces processes and approaches of economic development that have a future. Here, besides the revenues companies get, NGOs involved in environmental management seek to ensure that the profit is not at the expense of the environment. NGOs also play a crucial role in advising policy makers like governmental officers on the needs and priorities of theProofreading-Editing local people. In most cases, they intimate to policy makers what is necessary for the poor people and the environment. This approach ensures that no side benefits at the expense of the other, as it is common in most countries around the world. Such information is vital for the government especially when planning and budgeting for its events. Because of the expertise NGOs have, they give precise and reliable advice to all levels thus enhancing capacity building at all levels.
