A quick definition of quango:

Term: QUANGO

Definition: A quango is a type of organization that is partly controlled by the government but is not directly answerable to it. These organizations are usually set up to deal with specific issues, such as tourism, education, or health. They have some members appointed and financed by the government, but they also have some independence to make their own decisions. Quango is short for "quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organization."

A more thorough explanation:

A quango, short for quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organization, is a type of administrative body that operates independently from the government but is partially funded and appointed by the government. In the United Kingdom, quangos are common and serve various purposes such as tourism, education, and healthcare.

  • A tourist authority
  • A university-grants commission
  • A price-and-wage commission
  • A prison or parole board
  • A medical-health advisory panel

For example, a tourist authority may be a quango that promotes tourism in a specific region. While it is partially funded and appointed by the government, it operates independently and is not answerable to the government. Similarly, a medical-health advisory panel may be a quango that provides advice to the government on healthcare policies and practices.
