Become a member

We invite you to become a member of our vibrant coalition, by signing up to get involved. Please complete the membership form.

WWSOSA’s work is membership-driven and offers channels for members to communicate their needs, contribute to supporting other members to strengthen their capacity, and/or undertake joint initiatives. While unable to meet all individual needs, it is committed to facilitating access for members to technical support as needed, through its networking activities and resources database.

The WWSOSA Coalition is intended to ADD VALUE TO ITS MEMBERS’ WORK. Members do not pay a membership fee at this stage.
