Non-Governmental Organizations in Contemporary Civil Society
Abstract
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are one of the indicators in the assessment of
whether the state operates on the principles of a civic society. NGOs are also a crucial element
of public life as they cover an extensive area of activity. At the level of local communities they
effectively promote their development as organizations that are close to the citizens. In the
European Union they are an expression of public opinion. After WWII both the political and
legal circumstances in Poland did not favor their development. An observable improvement
began during the transition period at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. The number of NGOs
considerably increased at that time. Although the number of newly registered NGOs has been
consistently decreasing since 2003, as has Poles’ interest in voluntary work, Polish NGOs are
in quite good condition compared to their counterparts in other states of Central and Eastern
Europe.
