Country Affiliation

Country Affiliation provides a formal pathway for establishing and recognising an ISVG organisation at country level as part of the international ISVG network.

Country Affiliation provides a formal pathway for establishing and recognising an ISVG organisation at country level as part of the international ISVG network.

Country Affiliation is distinct from Individual Membership. Individual Membership relates to a person, while Country Affiliation establishes the formal organisational relationship between ISVG and its recognised structure within a particular country.

Recognised country organisations provide the foundation for developing ISVG membership, leadership, knowledge sharing, volunteering, community initiatives and institutional cooperation within their respective countries while remaining connected to ISVG's Regional and Global structures.

Country organisations are expected to operate consistently with the ISVG Constitution, approved policies, governance requirements, Code of Ethics & Conduct and applicable laws and regulatory requirements within their respective countries.

Following the required review and formal approval, ISVG may issue an official Country Affiliation Number and Country Affiliation Certificate confirming recognition within the international ISVG network.

How to Apply

Country Affiliation applications are also initiated through the ISVG Membership Portal.

Select Sign Up, choose Country Affiliation, complete the required country and applicant information, provide the required supporting information or documents, and submit the application for consideration.

Submission of an application does not itself constitute recognition or affiliation. Country Affiliation becomes effective only after the application has been reviewed and formally approved by the authorised ISVG body.
