Abstract

This article provides information on the main characteristics of typical and atypical non-governmental organizations in Romania, as well as on the legal framework under which these entities operate. The paper is based on qualitative research, with data collected through document analysis methods to highlight the main trends in the civic sector's evolution. The research results show that, in addition to typical NGOs, Romania has a variety of atypical NGOs that operate under special laws and carry out activities and provide services in various fields.
