Introduction
- Background of the study

Non-governmental agencies in Nigeria have demonstrated appreciable interest towards the provision of amenities to both the rural and urban population of the country. The interest shown by these non-governmental agencies could be derived from their genuine intention of uplifting the liking standard of the people. There is therefore no gain saying the fact that there have been some noticeable increases in educational institutions, health centers, road constructions, water supply and so on as they store to impress the people. Experience has shown that the provision and maintenance of amenities cannot be handled by government alone because it will be too onerous for government to satisfy the need of all communities, bearing in mind the limitation of time and resources. It is therefore, necessary for the agencies of government to educate the people to appreciate the fact that the transformation of their country for enhancement of their standard of living should be a joint responsibility between the community and the government or its agencies. This is why series of reforms and restricting have been undertaken.

At local government level, at in an attempt to make it more responsive to the yearnings and aspirations of the people it is also aimed to involving an efficient and functional administrative and resources allocation system that will make for rapid growth and modernization of rural communities (non oil). The role of non-governmental agency (ngo’s) in community developed has attracted the attention of some great scholars. Aroh (1997), viewed community development as a process whereby community came together to perform various functions in order to given a face left to their immediate environment or community. Also non oil (1981) refers development as a natural fact in which the individuals and society interest with their physical, biological and inter human environment transforming them for their own benefit and that of humanity at large. Ngo’s as an organization or loose associations which are composed of people working together to address a need. Basic element of ngo’s are: –

Non-profit oriented
A voluntary organization

An ngo is primary on intermediate organization that is development oriented.

Non-government in term of organization, membership and funding.

In all, non-governmental agencies role is poverty alleviation and community development is aimed at making people self reliant, able to participate in national development. It also ensure that both the rural and urban communities the provision of the necessary assistance, like funds legal and structural framework, technical and managerial expertise necessary for the programmers’, aroh (2002).

The study was carried out in ufuma, which is located at orumba north local government area of anambra state in nigeria. The local government area occupies an area of about 220 square kilo with an estimated population of 8,280 people (npc 1991).

The cooperative union formed in march 2^nd 1983 before the formation of the ufuma cooperative union in june 28^th 1984. This union of the development of the community and also has helped in increasing the standard of living of the people and extending aims to the less privileges in the community. There was remarkable to which was done by these prime movers on march 8^th 2000 disk and chairs for the umonyiba primary and nursery school in the area also in 2004 the prime movers donated wholesomely to the widows in umuogem community. The ufuma comprises of nine (9) villages and its history is something that one cannot forget in a haste, the people of ufuma are people with integrity, honest and responsible as i was told the ufuma people spread to different villages like umuagu, obiagu, umuogem, umonyiba, umuonyiuka and so on.
