global organizations

Worldwide cooperative institutions

Global organizations are institutions or associations that operate across multiple countries, typically addressing issues that transcend national borders.

These include intergovernmental bodies like the United Nations, international financial institutions like the World Bank, and multinational corporations.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working internationally also fall under this umbrella: Global organizations coordinated the humanitarian response.
