These inaugural focuses were chosen through extensive consultations with stakeholders to address the most urgent challenges and complex obstacles to addressing statelessness. They reflect critical areas requiring focused action and global collaboration.

Members of the Alliance are invited to contribute to these TWGs by signing up via the online form listed under each TWG sub-page. The TWGs are initially established for two years, with potential annual extensions. Leadership is provided by two co-leads (co-chairs) who guide quarterly meetings and coordinate activities within the groups. Sub-groups can be formed within each TWG to address specific issues, ensuring diverse member engagement and effective action. This is an opportunity for members to collaborate closely, share insights, and contribute to tangible advancements in addressing statelessness.
