Our network of volunteer country specialists work directly with researchers at our International Secretariat to ensure that Amnesty UK is engaged and informed of human rights developments all across the world.
We call these volunteers Country Coordinators, and together they make up the Country Coordinator Forum.
The forum is led by the Chair and Vice chair of the forum:

World Regions
There are approximately 50 Country Coordinators, and they are divided into 13 Regional Teams, headed up by a regional team coordinator.
Local groups can opt-in to work on one or more of these 13 regions and are then supported directly by their regional team of coordinators.
