Hola, colegas, ojalá puedan ayudarme con el término "quango", sé que proviene de "qua"si-"n"on"g"overnmental "o"rganization, necesito saber si existe un equivalente en español.
Éste es el contexto:
"The British Council, for example—a ***quango***, and charity, that represents Britain's cultural interests abroad—charges for English-language tuition. A recent report for the Foreign Office said that the council's business activities required constant monitoring lest they annoy both private providers and foreign tax authorities."
Muchas gracias de antemano.
