NGO Forum for Public Health

NGO Forum for Public Health, established in 1982 and officially recognized in 1991, stands as a prominent national networking and service delivery organization in Bangladesh's Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector. Originally formed in response to the United Nations' International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade, the organization has evolved to encompass a broader spectrum of development issues, renaming itself to reflect its expanded focus. Committed to promoting WASH, health, nutrition, governance, climate resilience, and humanitarian responsiveness, NGO Forum for Public Health plays a pivotal role in improving public health, particularly for marginalized communities. With a decentralized workforce and a vast network of around 850 partner NGOs and CBOs, the organization operates across 14 regions, engaging in inclusive initiatives that prioritize people's rights, human dignity, gender equity, and environmental sustainability. The NGO's goals include enhancing public health, reducing climate vulnerability, providing humanitarian services, and upholding human rights, all aligned with its vision of fostering an inclusive healthy society. Through its dynamic network, NGO Forum collaborates with national and international stakeholders to implement and advocate for policies that contribute to a healthier and more equitable society.
