The Community Forum is a tool for involving citizens in the municipal decision-making process that began in 2006 in the Republic of Macedonia, at the initiative of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). This process took place in parallel with the process of decentralization in the country, which in 2005 gained a real dimension with the beginning of the implementation of fiscal decentralization, which allowed the laws that were adopted in previous years to begin to take effect. The program, over 10 years, had several phases, and 59 municipalities implemented 111 forum processes with several types of forums - project, inter-municipal and budget.
