We condemn the military coup in Myanmar
The Forum 2000 Foundation, the International IDEA, and the National Endowment for Democracy issued a joint call on the Myanmar military to fully respect the results of the recent national elections, release all detained political and civil society leaders, and allow the country to institute real democratic reforms.
Each year, we organize the NGO Market with renewed energy. During the Week for the Non-Profit Sector, we provide space for the NGOs to bring their stories to the public and to share their experiences. Our goal is always to show the faces of the real people who stand behind non-governmental organizations. In 2021, it will be no different, although we will meet again online this year.
The 2021 Online Week for the Non-Profit Sector will take place on 19-23 April.
The full program and further information regarding the event will appear soon on this website and our Facebook page.
