The Global Network of the International Social Service is composed of a General Secretariat based in Geneva and a network of members based in more than 120 countries.

The ISS General Secretariat has been based in Geneva, Switzerland, since 1924. It is a legal entity recognised under Swiss law.

The ISS General Secretariat is in charge of the following collective tasks for the network:

  • Guaranteeing the coherence and coordination of the network's activities;
  • Developing and strengthening the operational capacity of the network's members;
  • Coordinating, sustaining, supervising and assessing the functioning of the network's activities;
  • Organizing the communication and knowledge sharing of the organization;
  • Representing the organization and advocating at an international level.

Its Secretary General (aka CEO) is currently Mr. Jean Ayoub, a senior executive in International and Humanitarian Affairs with more than 35 years of experience in development, emergency management, people and program management.

The ISS network is composed of members, including members ad interim (a.i.), in more than 120 countries and a General Secretariat.
