Forum for Women and Development
The Forum for Women and Development (Norwegian: Forum for Kvinner og Utviklingsspørsmål), often known as FOKUS Kvinner, is a Norwegian non-governmental organization aimed at spreading information on women-centered development cooperation and to be a cooperation forum for the Norwegian women's organisations in regard to their development activities in the Global South.
It was founded in 1995. Its primary goal according to its bylaws is to contribute to the improvement of women’s social, economic, and political situation in the Global South. As of 2014, the organization consists of 65 women's organizations and women's committees in political parties, trade unions, and solidarity and aid organizations; however, some of these are very small or represent organisations not primarily concerned with women's issues. FOKUS only has other organizations as members, and does not have individual members. FOKUS receives financial support from the Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UD) through framework agreements on development and information activities. Since 2015, Elin Ranum is President of FOKUS. FOKUS has a small secretariat in Oslo which supports the Executive Board in their work.
