"As a charity that is dependent on donations in order to survive, it is often difficult to compete with commercial enterprises who have large budgets available for marketing and publicity. It is excellent that this channel has been created to publicise the fantastic work that charities are doing that may otherwise go unnoticed."

"Monitoring of broadcast media output shows a steady decline in the number of programme hours devoted to developing countries. NGOTV will help to offset this decline by providing a platform to materials gathered by NGOs and independent film makers as such it will be a welcome addition to the broadcast wires."

 "NGO TV provides the ideal opportunity for charities and non-profit organisations to reach a large audience. At the Meningitis Trust, we work to increase the understanding of meningitis and its impact on sufferers' lives, so any opportunity that can help us spread awareness, is welcomed by us. We look forward to working with NGO TV in the near future".

Excellent Development thinks that NGO TV is an exciting new concept that will bring the work of smaller organisations to a wider audience, on an equal platform with larger charities.  By bringing the work done by grassroots organisations into people’s living rooms in an innovative and engaging manner, NGO TV will be invaluably strengthening the connection between British people and citizens of the developing world.
