World NGO Day

World NGO Day is an annual international observance held on February 27. Although the day was recognised officially in 2010, it was only in 2014, that for the first time World NGO Day was observed by the United Nations. An UK-based social entrepreneur Marcis Liors Skadmanis inaugurated the World NGO Day in 2014. The day was conceived to spread awareness of the tremendous contributions of NGOs all around the world and honour the relentless efforts of the social workers both in the public and private sectors.
