Which of the following is NOT a typical role of NGOs?

• A. Drafting national budgets.
• B. Advocate for social issues.
• C. Implement projects.
• D. Raise funds.

Answer: (A)

Drafting national budgets is not a typical NGO role because budgeting is a government function. Non-governmental organizations operate in civil society to advocate for issues, run programs, and raise funds through donations and grants. They influence priorities and policy through research and lobbying, but they do not set or approve a country’s official budget. In contrast, advocating for social issues, implementing projects, and raising funds are all common activities for NGOs, reflecting their work to address community needs and support services outside of government.
