The genesis of this study was from the realization that little was known about roles of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in rural development and this article basically examines conceptually the role of NGOs in rural development. It looks at the meaning of NGOs, the various classifications of NGOs, areas of involvement of NGOs, their role and mode of operation and their sources of funds. This desk study was necessitated by the reports coming from the rural areas and other renowned scholars and academic institutions on the miniature information about the roles of NGOs in rural development. Through the usage of desk study, the researcher’s interest was to look through literature on the experiences of different areas in the role of NGOs in rural development. Few NGOs activities in countries specifically Zambia have been cited; but are not limited to, education, agriculture & livestock, democratic governance, environmental, socio-economic, advocacy and human rights’ work and they work to promote social or political change on a broad scale or very locally. NGOs play a critical part in developing society, improving communities, and promoting citizen participation. The paper concluded and recommended among others that there is need for NGOs to thorough review and establishment of criteria for NGOs to secure required standards of management skills and quality in their project implementation in rural areas.
