The role played by Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) both at the local and international level cannot be overstated. Intergovernmental organizations have been donned with campaign groups seeking to inject their contribution on important matters of sustainable development such as those revolving around slavery elimination, production and disposal of hazardous wastes as well as setting standards on environmental activities such as land mines. Nonetheless, NGOs are also focusing on the activities of some major state and multinational corporations whose activities directly or directly impact on people’s lives. Hence, their concern has gone beyond forging ties with government and intergovernmental organizations. This has been occasioned by the fact that most governments across the globe have slightly shifted their interest from active regulatory activities especially with the impact of trade liberalization.

On a wider scale though, some NGOs operate beyond the borders of a single nation. They are well staffed in order to carry out their activities in a more professional and vigorous manner bearing in mind that these organizations work through asserting their demands through pressure groups and multiple campaigns. Internationally, NGOs have been very instrumental in alleviating human suffering especially in less and least developed countries. Although the economies of these poor countries are usually underperforming, governments in these nations have come to the realization that sustainable development can be accelerated through the activit
