About

The People’s Forum has been a central part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) for decades, providing a unique opportunity for Commonwealth citizens to engage directly with each other; to celebrate shared values and diverse cultures; to interact with leaders, and to participate in shaping both policy and practice. The People’s Forum 2026 is organised by the Commonwealth Foundation in close collaboration with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. It will focus on the challenges and opportunities in delivering people-centered governance across the Commonwealth, exploring some of the most urgent issues of our time—climate justice, health justice and freedom of expression—and centering the plight of small and vulnerable states, women and young people.
