ROLE OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTORS
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and civil society play a critical role in complementing government efforts to combat poverty and hunger. These actors often bridge the gaps in policy implementation, target underserved populations, and bring innovative solutions to pressing social issues
NGOs and civil society organizations contribute to poverty alleviation and hunger eradication through direct interventions, advocacy, capacity-building initiatives, and public awareness campaigns.
