An innovative global network empowering civil society for effective social change
Forus, previously known as the International Forum of National NGO Platforms (IFP/FIP), is a vibrant global network of National NGO Platforms and Regional Coalitions making a major collective contribution to development, peace, democracy, sustainability and justice.
Three main working areas are being targeted to achieve this transformative change:
The International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP) is the only global donor affinity group dedicated to Indigenous Peoples worldwide.
Our mission is to convene Indigenous Peoples, donors and foundations to advance partnerships that can improve the lives of Indigenous Peoples globally, build communities of practice among donors, and address the challenges of our times.
The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) is the world's preeminent association of physicians and other health professionals working towards a world where no persons' life is limited by epilepsy. ILAE's mission is to ensure that health professionals, patients and their care providers, governments, and the public world-wide have the educational and research resources that are essential in understanding, diagnosing and treating persons with epilepsy.
The goals of the ILAE are:
To advance and disseminate knowledge about epilepsy
To promote research, education and training
To improve services and care for patients, especially by prevention, diagnosis and treatment
The Global Campaign Against Epilepsy (GCAE) was formed in 1997 as a joint initiative between the ILAE/IBE and WHO, and is continuing work of the ILAE. The campaign – ‘Out of the Shadows’– initiated with a primary aim of improving acceptability, treatment, services and prevention of epilepsy around the world.
