The present study titled "Analysis of NGOs Intervention on local People with Reference to Mother Child Health in District Swat" was conducted with objectives to measure the attitude of the target population about the NGOs intervention in the study area through pre and post relationship on Mother Child health side. A sample size of 230 out of 450 Household heads benefited from NGO's interventions was selected through simple random sampling procedure. The study found a highly significant rise in number of visits by community health worker to attend delivery and postnatal care (P=0.000), number of community development programs increased to ensure new born survival (P=0.000), infant mortality rate decreased (P=0.000), child mother health became more secured (P=0.000), substantial number of women were benefited from well-equipped labor rooms (P=0.000) and increase in delivery kits distributed after the NGOs intervention (P=0.000) in the study area were found highly significant after NGOs intervention. On the basis of findings of the study appraisal of strict criteria needed to be adopted and provision of funds needed to be linked to the outcome of these appraisals. Some recommendations in the shape of extending projects to other far flung and neglected areas, while incorporating all felt needs of the locals, is suggested in light of study. Program continuity must be linked to disseminating of knowledge and training to the locals. These programs need to be run through locals under the sole supervision of donors.
