Every year, the Ombudsman Board organises an NGO forum to deepen the dialogue with civil society.

As the National Human Rights Institute, the Ombudsman Board is the link between civil society and politics. It works together with civil society and civil society organisations and has set up the so-called NGO Sounding Board for this purpose. In this board, a regular exchange takes place between and with representatives of large civil society organisations. The topic of the annual NGO Forum is also discussed and agreed within the Board in advance.

The results of the NGO Forum are summarised in conference proceedings. As these also include external content, not all files are fully accessible.
