Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct as it captures the dual focus of NGOs on both community empowerment and broader advocacy work.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because while research may be part of their work, direct community engagement is a primary focus.
  • B is incorrect because non-government organisations often receive some government funding.
  • D is incorrect because while NGOs may work with government agencies, their primary role is not as coordinators between government departments.
