The FORUM CharterThe International FORUM on Development Service (known as “FORUM”) is the most significant global network of International Volunteer Co-operation Organisations. FORUM aims to share information, develop good practice and enhance co-operation and support between its Members. Together, FORUM Members explore innovative practice and research key contemporary issues, focusing on organisational learning and improved practice. The Singapore International Foundation is a member of FORUM.
The FORUM Charter outlines values and principles that FORUM asks Member organisations to aspire to, and sign up to, when they join FORUM. Based on what was agreed in principle by the quorum of Members present at the 2009 AGM in Budapest, this document aims to be a "timeless" one.
