Membership in ATIDI is open to African States and to entities wholly owned by an African State and designated to become members on its behalf. It is also open to Non-African States and the public entities designated to become members on their behalf, Regional Economic Organizations, African Public Institutions, Export Credit Agencies, Non-African Public Entities and Private Corporations.
African governments collectively hold the majority of ATIDI’s shares. For a prospective African Member State, the process begins with the submission of a membership application for approval by the Annual General Meeting. Following the AGM approval, the State must ratify ATIDI’s Treaty and sign the Participation Agreement. These steps formalize the government’s commitment to ATIDI and underscore their role in ensuring minimal claims in the projects ATIDI covers.
