 The Affinity Group of National Associations (AGNA) was launched at the 2004 CIVICUS World Assembly in Botswana to convene national umbrella associations of NGOs and NPOs for the purpose of creating a forum to share knowledge and experiences on generic civil society issues and of encouraging civil society engagement and co-operation across national boundaries in the pursuit of mutual interests. AGNA aims to address needs that are particular to national associations which provide and give a collective voice to civil society, serve as interlocutors between civil society and other sectors and struggle for the creation of an enabling environment for civil society by providing services to members and the sector as a whole. Read more Affinity Group policy Affinity groups are groupings of CIVICUS members that exist to take forward CIVICUS’ mission and values. Affinity groupings can be constructed on a regional basis, around a particular area of interest, or around a linguistic or cultural identity. Affinity groups agree with and actively promote the values and principles that underpin CIVICUS and engage in work that is consistent with the programmatic priorities of CIVICUS. All groups accept CIVICUS members within their ranks based on clear criteria. In addition, they sign a memorandum of agreement every two years with CIVICUS and are expected to be self-sufficient in terms of funding. Read the CIVICUS Affinity Group Policy.
