The Commonwealth is a voluntary
association of 52 independent and equal sovereign states.
The Commonwealth is home to
2.4 billion people and includes both advanced economies and developing
countries. Thirty of our members are small states, many of which are
island nations.
Our shared values and principles are
inscribed in the Commonwealth Charter.
Member countries are supported by a network of more than 80 intergovernmental, civil
society, cultural and professional organisations.
The last country to join the
Commonwealth was Rwanda in 2009. Find out how countries can join the
Commonwealth in our Frequently Asked Questions.
The
Commonwealth Secretariat
The Commonwealth Secretariat
provides guidance on policy making, technical assistance and advisory services
to Commonwealth member countries. We support governments to help achieve
sustainable, inclusive and equitable development.
Our work promotes democracy, rule of
law, human rights, good governance and social and economic development. We are
a voice for small states and a champion for youth empowerment.
Priority areas of work are agreed at
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings, which occur every two years. The
next summit is in the United Kingdom in 2018.
The Commonwealth Secretariat’s structure
is split into three
areas: Political, Corporate and Economic and Social
Development overseen by the Secretary-General’s Office. We work in
divisions, units and sections to achieve mandates set by Heads of Government.
