The Structure of IFAT

IFAT's membership covers five separate regions: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and North America & Pacific Rim. 

IFAT has an elected Executive Committee, responsible for developing and implementing the plans arising from the strategic priorities agreed by the members at their Annual General Meeting. The Executive Committee is the guardian of the IFAT Constitution and Standards for Fair Trade Organizations. It makes policy, and decides which organizations may join the network.

Each region is represented on the Executive Committee by its own elected member. The Committee members act as a point of contact for members in their region, and may be involved in the co-ordination of the members' national and regional platforms.

IFAT's activities are coordinated by a small International Secretariat of appointed staff, currently based in The Netherlands.
