Forus (Forum International des plateformes nationales d'ONG)

Mission & Goals

Forus is a unique global network, bringing together thousands of organisations and networks across the world, all sharing a positive agenda for inclusive and sustainable societies. We work simultaneously at national, regional and international levels, recognizing that each level is important. In an increasingly challenging world for civil society, Forus plays an important role in structuring and strengthening national platforms and Regional Coalitions to amplify their voice both on the local and global stage. Our role is three-fold: - We connect national platforms and Regional Coalitions to build joint actions, learn from each other and fight for an enabling environment for CSOs. - We support and develop the capacities of our members for more effective participation in decision-making processes, using the network's collective intelligence and innovative approaches. - We influence decision makers by advocating for public policies that are more efficient and people-centred.
