World NGO Day is celebrated in more than 89 countries and over six continents. Each year World NGO Day is celebrated on February 27th.

• Tackling a range of social, environmental and humanitarian challenges, NGOs are usually independent, not-for-profit organisations working at local, national or international levels.
• They play a vital role in addressing global issues, promoting human rights and fostering sustainable development.
• This event is an opportunity to raise awareness of the vital work of NGOs and to motivate people to support them.
