IFS Affiliated Organisations
IFS Affiliated Organisations (known formerly as IFS Member Organisations) are national, regional, and international organisations and institutions, such as academies of science and research councils, with a mandate related to IFS work or otherwise supporting or dedicated to the advancement of science in developing countries.
Today, the 135 Affiliated Organisations (AOs) of IFS in 86 countries constitute a unique contact network for IFS, providing very important links to the scientific and donor communities in both donor and recipient countries. Of these about three-quarters are in developing countries and one-quarter in industrial countries. A complete list of all AOs with links to their websites is further down on this page.
A report entitled "IFS Member Organisations: revisiting and revitalising their role" has been prepared in English and in French after input from the BOT and consultations with the IFS AOs. It can be read or downloaded from the link below. AOs could in particular play a greater role in the recruitment of applicants, follow-up activities and impact assessment, co-organisation of workshops, training courses and in promoting the establishment of national fora of IFS grantees, promoting the creation of IFS grantees' associations, and fund raising activities.
