Full, Founding, Affiliate, and Associate.
Full membership embraces national publishers associations.
All national publishers associations in Africa can each elect a representative to the General Council. Where there is no publishers association, the General Council may elect a representative. Full members are referred to as Country Representatives. Associate membership is reserved for individuals or organisations with an outstanding record of service to African publishing. Unlike the other categories, which can be applied for, Associate Membership can be conferred only by invitation from the General Council.
