Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) provide vital assistance to response and recovery efforts during any disaster. However, they face a multitude of challenges in effectively performing their role. This paper explores the difficulties that NGOs face while responding to and recovering from disasters. This study utilizes secondary research review method wherein analysis of peer-reviewed articles and case studies was done to understand the major challenges faced by NGOs. It was found that the major challenges faced by the NGOs are collaboration and coordination issues, political interference, and resource allocation and mobilization. These bottlenecks hinder the performance of NGOs and in turn the populations they serve. Therefore, it can be concluded that to improve the overall resilience and capability of NGOs in disaster response and recovery, it is critical to look at the underlying causes of these problems and considering potential solutions. These solutions can help various stakeholders and policymakers create strategies to solve the difficulties faced by NGOs by working together and making well-informed decisions. This will consequently increase the efficacy and efficiency of humanitarian operations in disaster-affected communities.
