Summary/Abstract: Ethnic minority non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Romania play a crucial role in promoting community rights, supporting social inclusion, and fostering sustainable development. This study explores the efficiency of these organizations through a qualitative analysis of management strategies and the challenges they face. Based on eight semi-structured interviews with NGO leadership members, the research highlights key factors influencing organizational performance, including transparency, financial sustainability, and the impact on the communities they serve. The adopted methodology incorporates word frequency analysis and sentiment analysis to identify perceptions of efficiency and the obstacles these organizations encounter. The findings suggest that while NGOs are perceived as having a positive impact on their communities, challenges related to financial resources, strategic coordination, and member retention may affect their overall effectiveness. This study contributes to the academic literature on NGO management and provides practical insights for enhancing organizational performance.
