Member Countries

PIANGO’s membership is made up of national bodies called National Liaison Units (NLUs). These are organisations or networks of NGOs which are broadly representative of NGOs in their country. With one NLU per country or territory, each NLU has one vote in the PIANGO Council. Where there is no NLU, interim membership may be issued to an NGO group working to establish an NLU.

PIANGO currently has NLUs and Interim members in 21 Pacific countries and non-self-governing territories.
