The Forum of Federations is an international governance organization founded by Canada and funded by nine other partner governments – Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan and Switzerland.
The Forum of Federations is concerned with the contribution that multi-level government can make to democracy building and democratic consolidation.
-
We assist in democracy promotion in fragile states or regions in post-conflict situation. Democratic evolution does not happen overnight; our extensive experience in countries such as Ethiopia, Iraq, Nepal, Pakistan, Sudan and Sri Lanka can be put to use quickly and effectively.
-
We provide innovative solutions to challenges posed by multi-level governance in federal, devolved, and decentralized countries. We bring a tested, comparative approach, a global network of experts and excellent access to key government officials around the world. We have worked in Germany on improving public service delivery, in Brazil on implementing a value added tax, in India on fiscal equalization, in Australia on metropolitan governance, in Switzerland on designing an immigration and integration policy.
-
We focus on the key issues of local empowerment. If you want to promote democracy in a way that gets real, on-the-ground results, our focus on the key issues of local empowerment– too often ignored – can add an essential dimension to your efforts.
The Forum Advantage: Hands-on Experience and High-level Expertise
The Forum has a practical, problem-solving approach to achieving results. Since its founding a decade ago, it has supported governments and citizens around the world - through training, the provision of expertise and impartial practical education.
Our Core Principle: “Learning From Each Other”
We bring the world’s leading experts together with the “practitioners” of government: elected officials, civil servants, political operatives. We provide practical solutions to problems of multi-level governance.
The Forum’s direct relationship with governments on each continent makes us uniquely placed to promote intergovernmental learning by working in tandem with our partner governments.
Very few international organizations can offer that kind of real-life, comparative expertise, and none but the Forum does it with a central focus on multi-level governance.
