The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Hon Shirley Botchwey, is pleased to invite Commonwealth Accredited Organisations (AOs) to a welcome dialogue at Marlborough House, London.  

Supported by three intergovernmental institutions — the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Commonwealth Foundation and the Commonwealth of Learning — the Commonwealth’s work is amplified by a powerful ecosystem of over 90 Commonwealth AOs

These organisations are spread across five regions, working across professions and caused, and play a vital role in advancing the Commonwealth’s priorities. 

AOs are diverse civil society, professional and voluntary bodies with a shared commitment to the Commonwealth Charter

Objectives of the welcome dialogue 

  • To share her vision for the Commonwealth with the larger Commonwealth ecosystem, and 

  • To engage with this critical stakeholder group on this vision and their part in the Commonwealth’s fit-for-purpose future.  

Format 

The Secretary-General will welcome representatives from the current AOs and announce a further seven organisations who have joined the ecosystem since February.
