The non-governmental organizations remain rather less visible and known in the domestic public landscape. The economic and social dimension of the non-governmental sector in Romania is impressive, despite difficult access to resources. The civic involvement, citizens mobilization within the actions of non-governmental organizations and volunteering, represent insufficiently developed sources for the sustainability of the non-governmental sector. The participation to drafting and monitoring public policies for the benefit of the citizens is one of the roles taken over by the NGO sector, in a context considered quite unfavorable. The non-governmental organizations were actively involved in the stage of pre-accession of Romania to the European Union and are amongst the most dynamic actors in absorbing European funds during the post-adhesion period.
