Non-Governmental organisations are also known as :

  • A."third sector"
  • B."third state"
  • C."third world"
  • D."third view"

Answer: A

NGOs are also known as the "third sector".

Society is often described as having three sectors: the state (government) as the first, the market (private business) as the second, and the voluntary or non-profit sector of NGOs, charities and community organisations as the third. The term emphasises that NGOs are neither governmental nor profit-making.

'Third world' was a Cold War term for developing countries, and 'third state' and 'third view' are not names for the voluntary sector.
