Over the past century, NGOs have been rapidly growing in numbers have become increasingly involved in such health crises as HIV/Aids and Ebola around the world. Many organizations have also been founded to recognize and support oppressed groups in certain countries, one of the most important of these being women. It is undeniable that women of developing nations have been greatly affected by the rise of NGOs, and the ensuing phenomenon of NGO-isation, from increased opportunities for activism, to unsustainable dependencies on nutritional supplements,. This article presents a background of both NGOs and the plight of women in developing nations, as well as attempting to draw a relationship between these two stakeholders in our global society. This article also presents evidence to support the hypotheses that NGOs allow women to become more politically and socially active through government-neutral involvement, but also hinder their health and job prospects by failing to employ local workers and using short-term solutions instead of sustainable ones. Major analysis is conducted on these topics and attempts to determine the correlation between NGOs and their involvement with women in impoverished communities. The article concludes with final comments from the author about their overall experience and thoughts on the issue. Au cours du precedent siecle, les ONG sont rapidement augmentes en nombre et en implication dans plusieurs pays en developpement en consequence de plusieurs crises de sante telles que VIH / SIDA et Ebola.

Cette proposition de recherche decrit ses objectives, buts et hypotheses qui concernent divers aspects de la vie d'une femme et ensuite ca decrit pourquoi ceci est un probleme important et comment les donnees vont etre obtenues. L'article conclut avec des commentaires finales de l'auteur a propos de leur experience generale et leurs pensees concernant le probleme.
