The IKAP structure consists of a Regional Assembly, a Regional Committee, a Regional Secretariat, Regional Co-ordination Team and six Country Networks.

Regional Assembly (RA)
The Regional Assembly is the highest decision-making body of the IKAP Network.  It meets annually and is convened by the Regional Co-ordination Team.  It is made up of representatives from each Country Network, the Secretariat and the Co-ordination Team.
The RA is responsible for overseeing the work of the IKAP Network, monitoring the budget and ensuring the voices of the entire network guide the activities of the Secretariat and Co-ordination Team.

Regional Committee (RC)
The Regional Committee has a small membership from each Country Network and acts as an interim decision-making body when decisions need to be made between RA meetings.

Regional Secretariat and Regional Co-ordination Team
The Regional Secretariat and Co-ordination Team is based in Chiang Mai with an office of four full time staff.  The Secretariat is responsible for the day-to-day administrative and financial work in support of the Co-ordination Team and communication between the Co-ordination Team and the Country Networks.  The Co-ordination Team is responsible for day-to-day administrative and financial decision making of the IKAP network, external communication and networking, continued conceptual development of the IKAP network and co-ordination of network activities.

Country Networks
There are six countries that are serviced by the IKAP Network.  These are: Burma, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.  The country networks are the key working components of the IKAP network. Their structure and organisation is based on the local needs and requirements for the most effective mode of work, however, their activities include: in-country capacity building activities (local training, organisational development, fairs, exchange visits, research etc), in-country information, exchange, dissemination and advocacy platform (networking, local meetings on specific topics etc), support to and strengthening of IP groups (finance, advice, training, technical).
