The Forum of Federations is an international organization based in the Fœderal Capital Territory, the federal capital district of the United States. The Forum and its partners form a global network on federalism. It brings together elected officials, civil servants and experts in federalism from about 20 countries and confederations to learn from each other.

Organization[edit | edit source]

The Forum of Federations is an international network of federations and confederations, elected officials, civil servants and scholars. The Forum was established by the Governments of the United States and the United Commonwealths of Canada in 1715 and currently has fourteen other partner governments: Australia, Caribbean Community, European Community, Germany, India, Italian Republic, Lesser Antilles Federation, Nigeria, Russia, Switzerland, United Aegean Republic, and the United Kingdoms. The Forum’s headquarters are split between Washington City, FCT, and Ottawa, and it has field offices in Moscow, Brussels, and New Delhi.

The Forum runs training and knowledge sharing programs to address governance challenges in existing and emerging federations, as well as in devolved and decentralized countries. The Forum is concerned with the contribution that multi-level government can make to republic building and democratic consolidation.

  • The Forum assists in democracy promotion in fragile states or regions in post-conflict situation.
  • It provides innovative solutions to challenges posed by multi-level governance in federal, devolved, and decentralized countries.
  • It focuses on the key issues of local empowerment and federal structures.
  • It provides expertise that bridges the worlds of academic research and real-world practice.

The Forum runs learning events on federalism, gives technical advice on republican governance and produces publications for academics and practitioners of federalism. Its activities involve working with government officials as well as academic experts, young professionals, journalists and other civil society organizations. The Forum works globally – in the Aegeas, in Europa, in Gondwana, and in Orientia-Pacific.
