Our mission:
The mission of the Nonprofit Information and Training Centre is to strengthen civil society in Hungary by providing capacity building services to the non-governmental organizations and by building an environment supportive of the long-term future of NGOs.
NIOK was founded in 1994 by the Nonprofit Research Group Association with the support of several umbrella organizations and experts. NIOK's original objectives - to contribute to the strengthening of civil society in Hungary through the work of NGOs as well as to establish a supportive environment for their long-term functioning - have remained unchanged throughout the past decade. In the meantime, we have significantly expanded our range of programmes and partners. NIOK continues to provide services which enhance the professionalism and success of NGOs' work and intensify the NGO sector's relations with the government and private sectors as well as with society in general.
Since NIOK was set up, the number of NGOs in Hungary has more than doubled (according to latest estimates, there are currently fifty thousand registered NGOs). Over the past ten years, our foundation has been working hard to ensure that the growth in the number of NGOs is accompanied by a qualitative improvement in their activities.
