ABOUT SIXTH ASSEMBLY OF THE ISA

The 2023 Governance Meetings of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) were
initiated in June of this year.

The governance bodies of the ISA, namely the Assembly, the Standing Committee,
and the Regional Committees, offer an integrated approach to governance and
decision-making within the Alliance.
The Governance Meetings comprise deliberations across the four regions of
Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe & Others, and Latin America-Caribbean at the
Regional Committee. The Regional Committees of the ISA 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 plan for the
region.

These discussions 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.

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 Sixth Assembly of the International Solar Alliance will be hosted in New
Delhi, India, from 30 October to 1 November 2023.

• The Eighth Meeting of the Standing Committee of ISA was convened in New Delhi,
India, on 6 June 2023.
• The Fourth Meeting of the ISA Regional Committee for Europe and the Others
region was hosted from 21-23 June 2023 in Brussels, Belgium.
• The Fifth Meeting of the ISA Regional Committee for the Asia and the Pacific
region was hosted from 24-26 July 2023 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
• The Fifth Meeting of the ISA Regional Committee for Latin America and the
Caribbean region was hosted virtually on 23 August 2023.
• The Fifth Meeting of the ISA Regional Committee for Africa was hosted from 30
August to 1 September 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda.
• The Ninth Meeting of the Standing Committee of ISA will be convened on 25

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
