Abstract：

The administration of the England’s countryside depends heavily on NGOs. They set up branch organizations in every rural community to collect local viewpoints and pass them along to the various government departments, offering expert advice for the top-level design of the government while also being a part of the system and collaborating with various departments at various levels. A “symbiotic governance” with synergy and advantageous interaction between the top and the bottom has emerged because of the development of the concept of shared governance between the government, rural communities, and organizations in rural England. The history and guiding ideals of each of the 13 NGOs that make up the Rural Coalition are examined. The paper also examines the procedure and function of NGOs in rural government in the London Metropolitan Area and concludes that their main functions include act and policy supervision review and resource, coordination, enterprise development and activation, and local advocacy support. This paper makes the case that we can take note of English NGOs’ advanced experiences in cooperative rural governance, include improving the negotiating position of rural local and social organizations, focusing on the growth and regulation third-party organizations, and instructing them to take part in rural governance in a systematic and regular manner.
