Global Policy Forum

GPF promotes accountability and civil society participation in international decisions on social and economic justice, sustainability, human rights and global governance. Established in 1993 and based at UN headquarters in New York, GPF has a well-respected track record of monitoring, research and reporting.

GPF contributes to discourse at the United Nations and within civil society networks through publications, briefings, webinars, presentations, convenings and internships for graduate students. Active collaboration with civil society networks, particularly from the Global South. includes programme partnerships, capacity development and training, and analytical support. GPF is an NGO with special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and a non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
