It’s been quite a year and it’s nearly over. Throughout the ups and downs of 2016, who in the NGO world has given you inspiration?
Who has kept a cool head and a warm heart in the most challenging of circumstances? Who has overcome difficulties to make a contribution that has had real impact? Who has been working tirelessly for years or decades to make the world a bit of a better place?
We’re accepting nominations for this year’s NGO heroes working with InterAction, the Washington-based US alliance of NGOs, Bond, the UK international NGO alliance, Civicus, the global alliance for civil society organisations and Concord, the European NGO confederation, to celebrate the NGO superstars of 2016.
To nominate your hero, contribute via GuardianWitness at the link above with:
- Who are you nominating? (No nominating yourself, one submission per person)
- Why? What have they done to impress you this year? Be specific and personal.
- And don’t forget a photograph of your hero!
For inspiration, read about 2015’s heroes and see the highlights of this year’s nominations on the #NGOhero hashtag.
No prizes, just glory!
Nominations will close on Tuesday 20 December.
