Non government organisations (NGOs), are not as effective in Gwadar as in other parts of the province. There are only 13 registered and 4 non-registered NGOs active for women, child, and youth welfare. One of the province-wide NGOs, namely Pak Public Development Society, has established 2 primary schools in the district: at Gwadar and Pasni. Many unregistered football clubs in the district provide a forum for youth to sit together and communicate which can result in 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 the district. The Rural Community Development Council has employed male as well as female Community Education Promoters to motivate the population for establishing girls primary schools through community support. This organisation has also established fellowship schools at primary level on self-help basis.

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 the pregnant women. 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.
