Brief History
The first NGO, Rotary, which later became
Rotary International, dates to the early twentieth
century.
In the early 1900s there were more than 1,000
recorded NGOs important to women’s suffrage,
scientist rescue, and refugee issues.
The term NGO came into use in 1945 with
provisions in Article 71 of chapter 10 of the
United Nations Charter, when organizations that

Brief History
On February 27, 1950, international NGOs (or INGOs) were
first defined in resolution 288 (X) of ECOSOC as “any
international organization that is not founded by an
international treaty.”
In June 1997, the vital role of NGOs and other major groups
in sustainable development was recognized in chapter 27 of
Agenda 21, leading to intense arrangements for a
consultative relationship between the United Nations and
nongovernmental organizations.
Globalization throughout the twentieth century heightened
the importance of NGOs, which have since developed to
emphasize humanitarian issues, developmental aid, and
sustainable development.
