Non government organisations (NGOs) are not very effective in Panjgur. There are only 8 registered and 4 non-registered NGOs active for women, child, and youth welfare. Two of the province-wide NGOs, namely Helpers Association and Pak Public Development Society, have established primary schools in Panjgur. Many unregistered football clubs in the district provide a forum for youth to sit together and communicate aiming at collective development.

The Rural Community Development Council (RCDC), with its headquarters at Gwadar, is collaborating with the Primary Education Development Project (PEDP) and the Primary Education Quality Improvement Project (PEQIP) to establish primary schools for girls in Panjgur. The Rural Community Development Council has employed male as well as female Community Education Promoters to motivate the population in Panjgur for establishing girls primary schools on self-help basis. To date this council has initiated one such school in Gramkan.

There is no NGO working for women exclusively. However some women take part in various activities of the existing NGOs. The Family Planning Association of Pakistan (FPAP) is providing family planning services in the district.

Some international organisations and projects have been active in the district, specially in the field of education, health, and rural development. Through World Food Programme (WFP) cooking oil is distributed among pregnant women. The World Bank has provided assistance in Panjgur for water management through the On Farm Water Management Project.
