World NGO Day: 27 February 2021
- World NGO Day is commemorated on 27th February every year across the world.
- This commemoration is specifically important to boost the social work that has been organised by every country and to honour the activists and social workers who are diligently working for the betterment of the society.
- The celebration was embarked in the UN in 2014, but after then World NGO Day was officially recognised and declared by the 12 member countries of the IX Baltic Sea NGO Forum of the Council of the Baltic Sea States in 2010.
- World NGO Day gives an opportunity for these people to take time and make an effort by attributing the best they can provide within a given period of time.
- World NGO Day was established by MÄrcis Liors Skadmanis as an effort to recognise, appreciate and celebrate the great contributions that NGOs have made and the impact they have on the entire world.
