Civic Forum Institute Palestine [www.cfip.org] is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization that works to develop and strengthen the foundations of democracy and build Palestinian civil society organizations.
Since 1995 Civic Forum has been providing Palestinians with a democratic setting where trained Palestinian moderators lead small-group, community-based discussions on topics ranging from the relationship between citizens and elected representatives to the role of political parties in a democracy.
Based on its strong belief in civic education and democratic development, Civic Forum works on strengthening cooperation and exchange of expertise with local, regional and international organizations seeking to enhance democratic development with the aim of establishing a democratic system enjoyed by the citizenry regardless of their political or theological affiliations.
