Although several methods for the estimation of the efficiency of non-governmental organizations activity exist, such estimation is not a widely spread phenomenon and very often depends on the intentions and consciousness of the members of the said organizations. In this article, the main concepts and criteria of efficiency of non-governmental organizations are analysed, which may be identified as the specific elements of the activity of this entire sector. The first part of the article is focused on the concept of non-governmental organizations and their exclusivity comparing to private and public sectors. In the second part, analysis of the main aspects of non-governmental organizations performance estimation is presented, which leads to the identification of the main indicators of effectiveness called external connections and mutual cooperation.
