Non-government organizations (NGOs) have enormous influence in both international and domestic policy decisions.  The links in the left column provide information that demonstrates how these organizations often dominate international debate and direct policy discussions in the United States.

The "Search NGO Grants" link provides a way to look up the grants that have been awarded by the federal government to NGOs.  It is quite revealing.

The "IUCN" is an article full of links to other documents that provide examples of NGO influence.

For the skeptic, and the researcher, this section is a wealth of information.
