Their selection is not made by the people\nfor the sake of development. They voluntarily participate and work hard for the\nwell-being of the people and society. They have no substantial source of income\nor funds. Their only focus is to provide the best aid to the community and\nensure peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organization_structure_of_NGO_and_CBO\"><\/span>Organization structure of NGO and CBO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NGO is a full-fledged organization volunteer by a passionate workforce that works day in and day out for people&#8217;s prosperity. CBOs are deemed as a smaller version of NGOs. It works on the common ground but at a modest level. The working protocol of the CBOs is almost identical to NGOs, but they can&#8217;t match NGOs&#8217; footprint in terms of reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-80.png\" alt=\"CBO\" class=\"wp-image-12991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-80.png 580w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-80-300x174.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The community-based organization is a group of enthusiasts that support a common motive in a specific area. They are free-minded, and any legal authority does not control their actions. NGOs, on the other hand, work on a broader landscape; thus, they have more assertion as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-81.png\" alt=\"NGO\" class=\"wp-image-12992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-81.png 600w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-81-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>NGOs are accountable to respond to authority, rendering their take on particular actions. A specific hierarchy continuously monitors its working scenarios. NGOs blend actions with specific guidelines and principles. Though CBOs bear uncanny resemblance with NGOs, some difference exists in terms of work, organization structure, and area. Their contribution to humanity is unparalleled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal prospects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal framework is something that makes\nthese entities entirely different from each other. The NGOs are back by an\nadequate structure of members who works dedicatedly for the cause of social\nwelfare on the large spectrum.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no legal bound criteria that affect the working of the community-based organization. It is easy to set up and doesn&#8217;t seek legal formalities to proceed further. It is more like a group backed by people who voluntarily take part in a good cause and ensure the prosperity of a small community.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, NGOs address the loopholes in the <strong>society<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Society\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup> on a broader spectrum, whereas CBO focuses on specific communities only. NGO focuses on supporting chains of states and address issues prevailing there. Let&#8217;s understand the NGO&#8217;s working concept with the following examples. Whenever any natural disaster occurs in the state, NGOs come forward and takes the initiative to support the needy one. Similarly, the work of CBOs is limited to a smaller landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example-<\/strong> Awareness of swine flu- the underprivileged people and society are not fortunate enough to get ample info in the disease; thus, it makes them more exposed to the disease. Proper guidance and some precaution can be helpful in such a situation, and that&#8217;s where CBO comes into the picture. Its role is to provide in-depth info about the disease to the people and prepare them for the worst scenarios. But their area of work is limited to a specific community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/civil-society-and-ngos\/\">\nCivil society and NGOs: Things you need to know<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Source of funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of differences between NGO\nand CBO, but there one thing in common. What is that? This common similarity\nexists concerning the source of funding. Both entities do not have a concrete\nsource of financing. Their funds mainly come from corporates, celebrities, and\nthe society backed by elite people. These are the only medium that voluntarily\nmakes donations to strengthen these entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NGO and CBO make a sincere effort to help the\nneedy ones, and once they become popular, the funds start rolling in their\naccount. For example, during the natural disaster, Goonj, regarded as the top\nNGOs in the country, is in the abundance of funds and donations made by the\npublic. Henceforth, this is how these entities do money accumulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As cited above, CBO work on a local level, and their funding source reside in these regions only. Hence, they have no concrete funding platform like NGOs, which help them to execute the strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Advantages_of_NGO\"><\/span>What are the Advantages of NGO?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>No\npolitical and government intervention. <\/li><li>Free to\nimprovise the work plan as per the situation. <\/li><li>Ability\nto contact higher government officials. <\/li><li>Flexible\nfunding sources<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantage of NGO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>May deal\nwith lack of funds<\/li><li>Absence\nof dedicated leadership.<\/li><li>Deal with\ninadequate manpower at times.<\/li><li>Lack of transparency due to negligible government intervention.&nbsp;  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Community-based_organizations_CBO\"><\/span>Advantages of Community-based organizations (CBO)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The local\nmembers generally are\nthe staff of CBOs.

To be precise, CBO is focused on elevating equality across society\nin different streams such as education, healthcare, and the environment. <\/li><li>The\nfinancial statements of CBOs are exposed to public scrutiny. It means the\ncompany must allow the general public to access its financial statements. It\nmight seem to a profitable proposition on the surface, but it can be an issue\nif the organization is going through a financial crisis. <\/li><li>Due\ndiligence of the CBO&#8217;s financial statements is a mandatory requirement. It is a\ncostly affair to conduct a third-party audit of the company&#8217;s account to ensure\ntransparency. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_points_to_remember\"><\/span>Key points to remember<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>CBO is a subset of NGO type which mainly\nfocused on community-based activities. <\/li><li>NGO can address broad array problems ranging\nfrom natural catastrophe to pandemic. <\/li><li>CBO operates on a local level, and its funding\nsource resides in these regions only. <\/li><li>Both of the organizations lack a concrete\nsource of funding. <\/li><li>The elite NGO mainly gets their funds from\ncorporates and celebrities, whereas CBOs have a limited area of access in that\nregard. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&#8217;s evident that the NGO and CBO share a lot of dissimilarities, whether it is a scope of work or funding platforms. It can be concluded that NGOs have a bigger footprint, and it addresses a broader spectrum, unlike CBOs. But despite these significant discrepancies, they serve a common goal i.e., providing help to underprivileged people while keeping moral values intact.
