What Wikipedia says

A quango (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization; also QUANGO) is a corporation, authority or other organisation, formed outside of government-proper, to which a government has devolved power over certain public functions; the organisation has some independence but it is still partly or ultimately controlled or financed by ministers or other government officers.
