NGO Monitor is group which monitors the activities of non-governmental organizations operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. It is a program of the Israeli Institute of Contemporary Affairs, headed by former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dore Gold (also a former advisor to various Israeli prime ministers).
NGO Monitor describes its aim as "end[ing] the practice used by certain self-declared 'humanitarian NGOs' of exploiting the label 'universal human rights values' to promote politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas."
NGO Monitor has criticised several international human rights organisations, including Christian Aid for its alleged "extensive involvement in anti-Israel propaganda campaigns" [1] and Human Rights Watch whose reports it found to be "systematically and exceedingly biased" [2].
