Abstract
NGOs play a pivotal role in health sector reform. The program could be successful only when there is proper community participation right from the planning phase to its monitoring and evaluation phase. The chapter attempts to give a clear understanding of the different forms of registration of NGOs, it’s cultured, their way of working, and their contribution to the health sector. This will provide explicable knowledge of true community participants, different forms of community participants, and the steps to achieve from its means to end. Understanding upstreaming and downstreaming participation and the essential elements in “monitoring and evaluation” of participation is a must for the students. NGOs’ map modeling with qualitative and quantitative indicators will help NGOs as well as funding agencies to assess the performance of NGOs. Participant observation and development practice engagement with communities in the different successful community health models over the past decades allows reflecting on cognitive rationality that comprises the discourse of contemporary development by public health and development professionals.
