The organization was established with the view of promoting citizen participation in developmental activities. The founding members realized that citizens who are manifested to benefit are not the integral part of development activities. Citizens are also denied inclusive participation and decision making. It is in this view that FORUD came into existence in order to break the barrier of participation among citizens in developmental activities and other issues that affect them.
