Become a member

Membership Types

A) Member Organization

We differentiate between Ordinary and Extraordinary, as well as between National and International Member Organizations.

Ordinary Member Organizations are involved in the activities of the Coalition and have the roles and responsibilities described in Section 7 of the Charter. Your organization can become an ordinary member if you provide the following materials together with your application:

1. The organization’s registration certificate or a recent extract from an official register (proof of registration),
2. The charter or statute of your organization,
3. The organization’s annual report or a detailed document outlining the organization’s activities of the past year,
4. Your organization’s annual externally audited or certified accounts.

Ordinary National Member Organizations are defined as a civil society organization working in a single country or in two countries.

Ordinary International Member Organizations are defined as civil society organizations working in three or more countries or with affiliates in three or more countries.

• Ordinary International Member Organizations can put up a candidate in elections for the two seats for International Member Organizations on the Coordination Committee and can vote in elections and in Coalition decision-making processes.
• Ordinary National Member Organizations can put up a candidate in elections for regional seats on the Coordination Committee and can vote in elections and in Coalition decision-making processes.
• Individuals affiliated with a Member Organization may participate in Coalition discussions and activities.

Ordinary National and International Member Organizations are both asked to provide contact details of one representative from the organization. This person is authorized to vote in elections and take part in decision-making processes on behalf of the organization. If your organization would like to change its representative, it is important that you notify us. If your organization would like to have multiple members included on the Coalition’s listserv (mailing list), you should indicate this on the application form or send us an email.

Extraordinary Member Organizations support the Coalition, as described in Section 4 of the Charter. They are affiliated with the Association and support its work and mission, but do not have a vote. Your organization can apply to become an extraordinary member by completing the online application form and providing items (1), (2), and (3) of the documentation listed above, that is to say, every document except for an annual externally audited account.

B) Individual Member

An Individual Member is defined as a natural person with vast experience as an activist or as a scholar working in the field of anti-corruption, and with no affiliation to a Member Organization. Individual Members may be candidates for and vote in elections for the Individual Member seat on the Coordination Committee. They may also participate in Coalition discussions and activities.

All Individual Member applicants must fill out the online application form, provide a recent CV and submit two letters of recommendation. The letters of recommendation should include an assessment of the applicant’s experience and expertise on anti-corruption and UNCAC-related issues and overall good standing. Letters of recommendation will ideally come from current member organizations or individual members, past or present supervisors, colleagues, or a civil society organization the applicant has cooperated with in the past.
