- Citizens' Forum (Bangladesh)
Citizens' Forum ( _bn. "Nagarik Samiti"), also known as Citizens' Power ( _bn. "Nagarik Shakti"), was a proposed political party in Bangladesh which was to be founded by Muhammad Yunus to contest the next Bangladeshi parliamentary election.

The name "Citizens' Forum" was not the official name of the party, but the favorite of Yunus at that time.[http://nation.ittefaq.com/artman/publish/article_34138.shtml] Yunus, a Nobel Laureate for Peace known as the Banker to the Poor, said the party would be based on support of volunteers in the local and ward levels of Bangladesh. Supporters of Yunus were expected to form groups of 20 citizens "Yunus Samarthok Gosthi" (Yunus Supporters' Groups) that would work using their own money and resources to elect representatives. Yunus claimed: "If local people want to see good people elected, they will have to spend their own money. You will not get good people in your own area by spending other's money."]Yunus dropped the idea in early May 2007.
