The Forum of Federations is a non-profit, international organization based in Ottawa, Canada. We engage in a wide range of programs of mutual cooperation designed to help develop best practices in countries with federal systems of government around the world. The Forum works with countries and organizations of the North and of the South, with established federal countries and newly-emerging federations. In addition, the Forum works with countries that are exploring the possibilities of a federal political system. It is supported by the Canadian government and partner governments from several other countries.
