With the increase and exacerbate of human settlements problems, the current trend towards the developing, improving of slums and upgrading them physically, economically and socially is considered as the key requirement in all scientific, social and governmental forums. It is widely recognized that the participation of the population is essential for the sustainable and equitable development. The concept of "public participation as an essential ingredient for urban improvement and development" has been applied in many countries because of its importance on the involvement of local communities members in decision-making on their living environment. The contribution of public participation in making of the local development is a practical application of the concept of popular action based on desire and choice, which can benefit from human and substantial efforts and potential which will ease the burden on governments and also will achieve the immanence goals of development process. With the difficulty of organizing public participation, arise the importance of developing the intermediary institutions pursuing ways and means through which they could mobilize and organize energy and resources of the community members towards development actions, building channels of communication between them and various governmental agencies, from here the Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) started to be concerned in the area of development process. The non-governmental Organizations are one of achieving community development goals pillars, those organizations are important because of their ability to mobilize public awareness and activate members of the community to be involved in the process of development on one hand and to have the flexibility to enable them to work at the local level with its various problems on the other, in addition to their ability and the efficiency in reaching the public beyond the government agencies.
