ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are agencies outside of official government-sponsored agencies that work for the public good. The Gates Foundation has committed its resources and funding to engage in activities that address worldwide health concerns. Examples of NGOs include religious groups, philanthropic foundations, corporations, and other organizations. Bilateral agencies usually involve only two countries on a project. Sector-wide approaches to health focus attention on the resolution of health-related problems by addressing conditions that affect health in a broader social sense. Unilateral agencies represent one country.
