The Forum des peuples is an annual demonstration organized since 2002 in Mali by the Coalition des alternatives africaines dettes et développement (CAD-Mali) joining together the alter-globalists of the developing countries.

Joined together at the same time as the G8-summits, the Forum des peuples wants to be a "popular space of education, of exchanges, of communication, of information, and of citizen actions". Furthermore the Forum des peuples wants to come up with alternatives for the neo-liberal universe.

The first two editions were held in Siby in 2002 and 2003. The 2004 edition was held in Kita. The edition of 2005 was held from 6 to 9 July in Fana, a hundred kilometers of Bamako in the direction of Ségou. The 2006 edition took place in Gao.
