Recognizing the
significant role of NGOs as influential agents of change on a global scale, The
Global Journal has sought to move beyond outdated clichés and narrow
conceptions about what an NGO is and does. From humanitarian relief to the
environment, public health to education, microfinance to intellectual property,
NGOs are increasingly at the forefront of developments shaping the lives of
millions of people around the world.
The Global Journal is especially pleased to congratulate the Wikimedia Foundation for achieving first place in the Top 100 for 2012. A quintessential example of the power of a great idea well executed, Wikimedia’s most famous initiative - Wikipedia - has transformed the way in which the world obtains information, reaching 477 million visitors per month. Entirely volunteer-driven, the site has rapidly become the largest collection of shared knowledge in human history.
The following organizations joined the Wikimedia Foundation at the top of The Global Journal’s ranking:
