On a regional level, the five regional boards (Asia Pacific, Europe and Southern Africa, Middle East and Northern Africa, Latin America, and North America) are responsible for planning the full range of educational activities. Moreover, they provide regional input to the respective commissions for education, community development and research.
The four AO CMF commissions are responsible for establishing standards, coordinating and leveraging ideas, and ensuring best practice transfer between the regions in the fields of education, research and development, community development. The boards and commissions are composed of elected representatives and comply with the AO’s Code of Ethics and Shared Values.
