Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of the influence of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on lawmaking in Poland. It presents the socio-legal context in which the advocacy function of such organisations is carried out. Based on original research conducted among representatives of Polish NGOs, the author analyses their opinions on the impact they have on the legislative process. The article also addresses the challenges faced by these organisations, including lack of funding and limited effectiveness of available legal instruments. The research shows that despite sectoral diversity and significant public support, most NGOs feel that theirinfluence on the legislative process is limited.
