How to Take Part in the Forum of IDP Councils?

The Forums of IDP Councils are major events that bring together representatives of IDP Councils, civil society, and charitable organizations, local and national authorities, international partners, and donor organizations. They provide a space for sharing experiences, developing solutions, and expanding cooperation to support internally displaced persons and their integration into host hromadas.
