Organisations and individuals make up the membership of COMMACT International (CI). They are in three categories:
A. Organisational Membership: Open to civil society organisations supporting COMMACT’s vision and purposes and meeting COMMACT International’s membership criteria. These criteria are a) the organisation subscribes fully to COMMACT’s Vision and values; b) it provides evidence of having development policies and practices which are people-centred; and c) that it demonstrates willingness to contribute its experience, knowledge and time to COMMACT.
