Forum Civique Européen

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

The European Civic Forum (ECF) is a pan-European network of nearly 100 associations and NGOs across 30 European countries. Founded in 2005 by our member organisations, we have spent nearly two decades working to protect civic space, enable civic participation and build civil dialogue for more equality, solidarity, and democracy in Europe.

Our diverse membership includes national platforms of NGOs uniting hundreds of thousands of NGOs, human rights advocacy, and campaigning organisations, big federations of associations deeply rooted in local constituencies, smaller organisations working in their communities or engaging with the public on local issues.

ECF works to:
1. Identify and raise awareness of civil society’s needs, threats and success stories
2. Increase capacities, resilience and cooperation within and beyond ECF network
3. Promote more systematic and impactful participation of civil society in EU democratic participatory processes
