That depends upon how it's pronounced when read aloud. In this particular case, the individual letters of the abbreviation NGO will be pronounced: en-gee-oh. Therefore, use anto introduce it, because of the initial vowel sound.

If the letters form an acronym -- an abbreviation that can be pronounced as if it were a word -- that's another kettle of fish. In that case, use the indefinite article that goes with how the acronym is pronounced. For example, you would write a RAM chip, not an RAM chip, because people read the acronym RAM as they would the word ram, not R-A-M.

Which is gramatically correct usage a NGO or an NGO?

The correct usage is "an NGO." The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound that follows it, not just the letter. In this case, "NGO" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "en-jee-oh"), so "an" is used before it. It's based on the pronunciation, not specifically the letter "N" in "NGO."
