The analysis of NGO governance’s concept, presented in this paper, is based on examination of main structural elements of NGO governance and assessment of organisations’ accountability as part of governance processes. The main objectives of the paper are: 1) to review the main characteristics of NGO and transformations of its roles by presenting different scholars’ perspectives toward NGO as deliverers of social services; 2) to discover the complexity and contextuality of NGO governance concept by summarising the current research in the context of neo liberal transformations of public administration and by analysing different models of NGO governance. The paper continues the discussion on the principles of good NGO governance by presenting the NGO governance models typology, based on two dimensions: established versus innovative and unitary versus pluralistic. The systematic analysis of scientific literature and comparative analyses were used as the main methods to achieve the objectives of the paper. [...].
