Question 6 • American Government/Civics

Which of these would a nongovernmental organization most likely handle?

Answer
A
Developing countries are asking for assistance building roads and bridges.
B
A small nation has been attacked by a larger neighbor.
C
A persecuted citizen is seeking asylum in a different country than her own.
D
There are not enough vaccines to supply a country’s children with medicine.

Explanation

Nongovernmental organizations often provide humanitarian and public-health assistance, such as distributing vaccines to people who lack access to medicine. A vaccine shortage affecting children is therefore the kind of need an NGO might address. Defending a country, financing major infrastructure, and granting asylum are primarily responsibilities of governments or intergovernmental organizations.
