1. International Governmental Organizations (IGOs): UN agencies (WHO, UNESCO, etc.): For research, background info, and potentially public outreach materials. Development banks (World Bank, IMF): Similar to above, plus potentially for understanding local contexts where they operate. Regional bodies (EU, ASEAN): May use it internally, and their websites might link to Wikipedia for general explanations of topics. 2. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Advocacy groups (Amnesty, Greenpeace): For research, campaign material background, and potentially directing the public to info on their cause. Humanitarian aid (Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders): Potentially in disaster response for quick info on affected areas, languages spoken, etc. Development NGOs: Similar to IGOs, for research, understanding local contexts, and educational purposes. 3. Scientific and Academic Organizations: Research collaborations (CERN, International Space Station): Likely used by researchers for quick reference, though primary sources are essential for their work. Academic societies: May link to Wikipedia for general explanations of their field, or use it in educational materials
