Governance programs at the Forum are designed for public servants, elected officials and staff of civil society organizations in federal countries.
The Forum's governance programs involve local partners in collaborations in many issues on governing in federal countries. These issues range from how laws are made and enforced by the central government and the provinces, states or cantons, to how services such as health care, environmental protection or public security are delivered to the public.
The Forum's governance programs deal with a wide range of topics such as :
- Indigenous governments' fiscal systems - Vancouver, Canada
- Alternatives to tax wars - Sao Paulo, Brazil
- Decentralization of health care delivery in India - New Delhi, India
- Intergovernmental relations in federal countries - Mexico
- A course on 'The Federal Idea' in Sri Lanka
- A study tour of Canada for Iraqi journalists
The Forum of Federations has played a central role in helping federal countries learn from each other and thereby contribute to improving governance in many different fields. It has done this in several ways, from holding a roundtable on aboriginal issues in Canada to a series of panels on health care in Mexico to offering expertise to emerging federations such as Ethiopia and Sudan.
