What is the difference between non governmental and governmental development agencies?

Non-governmental development agencies operate independently of government control and often focus on specific social, economic, or environmental issues, emphasizing grassroots involvement and community empowerment. In contrast, governmental development agencies are established and funded by national or local governments to implement policies and programs aimed at national development goals. While both aim to promote development, non-governmental agencies may prioritize advocacy and innovative solutions, whereas governmental agencies typically align with official policies and regulations.
