QUANGO
16
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈkwæŋ.ɡəʊ//
noun
- (UK, government, often derogatory) An organization that, although financed by a government, acts independently of it."The strongest link to the State, however, occurs with quangos, (quasi-NGOs), and the many umbrella groups that also thrive on State support. Many of the new parties realized after their Sturm und Drang years that they still needed regular contacts with the 'civil' world and that their civilian support base had been seriously eroded."
