THE NON-GOVERNAMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE „DUNĂREA DE JOS” REGION

Summary/Abstract: After the revolution in 1989, the romanian society was met with a new fenomenon, that of building newassociations and foundations, institutions that were meant to come to the local communities' aid byoffering services that the authorities could not. Although marked by ethnic and religious diversity, theDunarea de Jos region is known throughout history as a well-established and coherent community, thatmanaged in time to create new mechanisms for solving collective needs. If during the period between thetwo world wars, the association phenomenon had a significant spread and grandeur, after the communistregime was instilled, this phenomenon stopped even thought the law that regulated the start-up ofassociations and foundations was not abolished. The following article is proposing the realisation of an xray of the construction of nongovernmental associations in the „Dunarea de Jos” region in the postdecembrist period, keeping in mind the subsequent objectives: the identity of the organisationsconstructed in the studied region (after the revolution in december 1989), the breakdown of the activeNGO profiles of the „Dunarea de Jos” region, and the analysis of the phenomenon based on somestatistical indicators.
