OFIP, National Forum of Non-Governmental Initiatives (Poland)

Warsaw, Poland

Democratic innovationNetwork meetingNational

The main national gathering of the Polish third sector, held in Warsaw since 1996 and organised since 2014 by the OFOP federation of NGOs. It mixes debates, workshops and a support fair, with public administration and business present; in 2024 it adopted a document on civic space in the European Union. Irregular rhythm: triennial until 2017, it returned in 2024 and held its tenth edition in October 2026. Tension: the programme centres on NGOs' relations with government and on their funding more than on grassroots practice.
