The Glocal Forum is a Non-Governmental Organization working for a new balance between global and local forces by emphasizing the central role of cities. The Glocal Forum is headed by Ambassador Uri Savir, former Chief Negotiator of the Oslo Peace Accords, and leads a global coalition of municipal leaders, international public and private institutions, local communities and youth in city-to-city projects aimed at building peace and developing a more balanced socio-economic world.
The Glocal Forum coordinates a wide range of projects in the areas of city-diplomacy, development, youth empowerment, information and communications technology, sports and the arts.

The Glocal Forum supports city-to-city networks by connecting them to the resources and capacities of the private and public sector. This forms a global coalition, composed of international organizations, such as The World Bank and United Nations specialized agencies together with the assets and expertise of private sector companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, CISCO, FIFA and more and adapts them to local needs and identities. Together, these powerful businesses and institutions work through the Glocal Forum to contribute goods, services and expertise to inter-city programs.
