Entities Associated with the IASC
From January 2019, a number of former IASC Subsidiary Bodies as well as Inter-Agency Groups that existed outside the formal IASC structures have been designated as 'entites associated with the IASC'. These will be encouraged to have regular engagement with the formal IASC structures, including by contributing to the work of the Results Groups, and will be accountable to the OPAG. Currently, the entities associated with the IASC are:
