The ISS network

The ISS network is composed of members (including members ad interim) in more than 120 countries and a General Secretariat. Members are either not-for-profit organizations, legally independent or governmental entities considered fully fledged members of ISS. They have signed a special agreement with the General Secretariat aiming for the implementation of one or more activities of the organisation.

Members ad interim are either not-for-profit organisations, legally independent or governmental entities linked to ISS by a general agreement aiming for the implementation of one or more activities of the organisation. These members commit themselves to respecting the ISS methodology and principles. Contacts are either not-for-profit, private organisations or individuals acting as a reference point on intercountry casework issues for the ISS network in a country.
