NGOs contribute to a civil society by providing a means for expressing and actively addressing the varied and complex needs of society. NGOs promote pluralism, diversity, and tolerance in society while protecting and strengthening cultural, ethnic, religious, linguistic and other identities. NGOs advance science and thought; develop culture and art; protect the environment; and support all activities and concerns that make a vibrant civil society. NGOs motivate citizens in all aspects of society to act, rather than depend on state power and beneficence. NGOs create an alternative to centralized state agencies and provide services with greater independence and flexibility. NGOs establish the mechanism by which governments and the markets can held accountable by public.
