What type of NGOs directly delivers services, provides relief or development aid, and/or implements projects on the ground?

Operational NGOs
Advocacy NGOs
Educational NGOs
Research-focused NGOs

The correct answer is: Operational NGOs

NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, are typically categorized by their focus or approach in addressing social, economic, and environmental issues. The other options listed in this question - advocacy, educational, and research-focused NGOs - all have significant roles in promoting social change and addressing these issues. However, they primarily focus on information sharing, raising awareness, or conducting research rather than direct operations on the ground. That is why the correct answer is operational NGOs, as they are directly involved in delivering services, providing aid, and implementing projects in communities that need it most.
