(UK, government, often, derogatory) An organization that, although financed by a government, acts independently of it.
A British political and administrative term for the process of transferring government functions to quangos — quasi-autonomous non-governmental organizations that are publicly funded but operate independently of direct ministerial control. Quangoization is typically discussed critically, implying a dilution of democratic accountability or an expansion of bureaucracy at arm's length from elected officials. The term became particularly prominent in UK political discourse from the 1970s onward as the number of quangos expanded rapidly.
(UK) The process of introducing quangos.
(colloquial) Of or run by the government.
