Application Assignment:
Cooperate. Collaborate. Connect.

NGOs and other governmental organizations often
work side by side on the same problem.

To prepare:
Explore the web organizations about the work
they are doing. Look for one health issue that you can see in both the NGOs and
other governmental organizations.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that both summarizes
and compares the roles and functions of one governmental and one
non-governmental health organization, public or global, for a specific health
issue of your choice. Be sure that your summary includes information about the
following:

Where are the organizations’ headquarters located?
What is the mission or purpose of these organizations?
What populations do they serve and what do they do?
How are the organizations funded? Are they part of a
larger public health infrastructure?
Do these organizations mention collaboration with any
other agencies or organizations?
Are there any major public health issues these
organizations are currently focusing on?
What might be some ethical issues that are related to
the mission of these organizations? (If the organizations have a code of
conduct or ethics statement, provide a brief summary in your description).
Summarize what you learned in researching these
organizations: What were the most interesting things you learned in this
application? How are the organizations you selected similar or different?

Note: The public health
infrastructure includes a complex network of governmental organizations and
NGOs that work to assure conditions in which populations can be healthy. Here
are a few key organizations that work to improve public health around the
world. (Hint: These organizations are all reliable sources of information for
your academic and professional research needs.
