World NGO Day is held on 27 February 2018. The global theme for World NGO Day in 2018 is Celebrate, Commemorate and Collaborate.

First celebrated in 2010, the day: raises awareness; recognises the importance of NGOs worldwide and their value to society; acknowledges the individuals who dedicate their time to making NGOs work; and inspires collaboration between different NGOs to become more actively involved within the civil society community.

The initiative is a major part of the international calendar and a symbol of cooperation between the world’s NGOs to build a stronger future for all. The event brings together NGO staff and their supporters, international leaders, governments, multi- and bilateral organizations, the private sector, local communities, teachers, students and NGO experts.

It uses evidence-based analysis to improve the sustainable livelihoods of rural communities affected by the ongoing process of environmental and climate change within a policy framework of European accession.
