World NGO Day

"NGOs are necessary part of landscape of today(..)"

"NGOs today are important partners in all works of life(..)"

"Today is World NGO Day, I want to thank all Latvian NGOs. NGOs are important partners and support to sustainable Latvia’s future."

"World NGO Days intention is to inspire people to become more actively involved within NGO sector and encourage a greater symbiosis between NGOs and both the public and private sector."

"We celebrate World NGO Day, NGOs help to shape our today’s political environment, develop the economy, provide social service, are involved in environmental conservation, take care of our culture and help people."

"The efforts of civil society organisations to hold governments accountable, insist on good governance and promote other democratic values across the globe have promoted more cohesion among different peoples in the world."

"World NGO Day is becoming an increasingly significant international day every year. In Moscow, we have already more than 30 thousand non-profit organizations, which are becoming more and more important for Moscow. You take care of large families, children left without parents, take care of disabled people, pensioners and veterans, or take care of all people who got into trouble."

"A vibrant and active civil society is an essential part of any strong democracy. Sweden supports civil society actors globally to curb the trend of its shrinking democratic space"

"Encouraging NGOs and authorities relationship of all levels can give an excellent result."

"(..)World NGO day serves all of us to reflect and take a good resolution for the future. Let’s engage, let’s connect to each other to build solidarity across the world, to stop polarisation and to build a cohesive society and a cohesive Europe."

"(..)Working for the United Nations for many years I have seen the huge contribution NGOs have made to further the development, peacebuilding and humanitarian goals of the international community and, most importantly, to the lives of people in need. Personally, I believe that a World NGO day is an excellent opportunity to recognize and celebrate the successes of the sector, and also to provide a focus for new ideas."
