Members and membership

All CISU's member organisations are actively involved in various types of development. Most member organisations are engaged in:

• Fundraising and development projects in cooperation with local partners in developing countries
• Development Education and Public Awareness Campaigns targeting the Danish population

The members represent a very diverse range of CSOs, both regionally and thematically.

CISU puts extra emphasis on building the capacity of small and medium-sized CSOs with limited human resources. However, since 2014, Danish CSOs which hold so-called Framework Agreements with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also been able to apply for membership.

Membership Prerequisite

A CISU membership grants access to free advisory sessions with CISU's CSO consultants,  a large number of training courses, network meetings and workshops held by CISU throughout the year.

Danish associations and non-commercial organisations with activities or other types of engagement in developing countries can become members of CISU, if the following requirements are met:

• The association has to be engaged in development work as its main activity or as part of its activities.
• The association has to be deeply rooted in a membership base and have held its first Annual General Meeting.
• The association has to be formally registered in Denmark.
• The association can only have non-commercial activities.
