The Bureau Forum NGOs, established in 1991, represents some large groups as well as small, rural groups. The focus is on groups dedicated to sustainable development. It coordinates the actions and programs of the rural NGOs to prevent a duplication of efforts. The Bureau provides smaller organizations with training and guidance so they can be more efficient.

In 1994 the Forum began offering a program of capacity building to NGOs in administration, organizational development and community awareness. It also offers training in project development, management and sustainability. The Bureau believes that NGOs should be self-sufficient and not rely on the government for sustainability. The Bureau conducted a survey in six regions of Suriname so rural NGOs could better know their target groups and design projects to respond to their needs. The work of the Bureau in the interior with small and intermediary organizations is important, where target groups include Amerindians and Maroons. In an effort to play a complementary role to government, particularly in the local areas, the Bureau coordinates its policy initiatives with the local structures in villages. It has a cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Regional Development.

The Bureau works with bilateral and multilateral donors to administer funds to NGOs, particularly in the provision of development aid for productive sectors. Financing for the Bureau comes from the government of the Netherlands through the Government of Suriname. Some grant funds are given to member NGOs while other funding is for the Bureau to provide NGO training.
