About the ISA Governance Structure

The ISA's governance bodies, the Assembly, the Standing Committee, and the Regional Committees, offer an integrated approach to governance and decision-making within the Alliance. The 2024 Governance Meetings of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) were initiated in June of this year. These Meetings extend the ISA Secretariat the opportunity to enhance cooperation with ISA Member Countries, as well as provide Member Countries with the ability to improve collaboration among themselves and mutually identify avenues of cooperation and partnership.

The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is an action-oriented, member-driven, collaborative platform for increased deployment of solar energy technologies to bring energy access, ensure energy security, and drive energy transition in its Member Countries.

At present,120 countries are Signatories and 102 countries have submitted the necessary instruments of ratification to become full members of the ISA.

  • The Assembly deliberates on critical matters such as organisational objectives; operational procedures; budget approvals; evaluation of the execution of diverse ISA programmes, initiatives and activities; and other issues pertaining to the functioning of ISA. So far, six Regular Sessions and one Special Session of the Assembly have been convened.
  • The discussions of the Regional Committee Meetings inform the deliberations of the Standing Committee, which comprises the Hon’ble President, Co-President, and 8 regional Vice-Presidents. The deliberations by the Standing Committee, in turn, inform the deliberations of the Assembly, which is the apex decision-making body of the ISA.
  • The Regional Committees comprise deliberations across the four regions of Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe & Others, and Latin America-Caribbean. The ISA Regional Committees meet annually, chaired by two Vice Presidents from the region, and aim to assess and discuss progress, challenges, and opportunities related to ISA’s programmatic support, flagship initiatives, partnerships, private sector engagements, and work plans for the region.
