Foreword

This summary of the National Sections’ Biennial Reports 2006-08 gives a broad picture of the National Sections and through it the very intensive and extended activities that are run around the world by our members. This is the strength, or backbone of IBBY and through the members' biennial reports we can assess the growth and effectiveness of IBBY.

Although autonomous in the way they organize themselves, the National Sections share the IBBY mission and objectives of bringing children and books together. This common goal brings friends from every part of the world together, thus, achieving Jella Lepman’s dream of forging international understanding through children’s books.

As always, financial difficulties, lack of recognition and poor resources can be stumbling blocks, but in general all our members fulfil their aims and successfully organize their activities. Often the IBBY section is the leading organization for children’s literature in its country.

This summary is based on data submitted every two years to the Secretariat and includes information about the structure, the sources of funding and the national and international activities of each National Section. All information, including the contact details, reflects the membership as at June 2008. For current contact information go to IBBY Worldwide on the IBBY website:

We would like to thank all those National Sections who submitted their biennial reports. The submission of a biennial report is one of the basic conditions of IBBY membership and we would like to encourage full participation by all members in this essential reporting.

IBBY is made up of many parts and all of them inspire, encourage and motivate us!

5. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

REPRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION

To a large extent, the NS are directed and represented by a President, a Secretary General or Executive Officer and up to two Liaison Officers. Their names, as at June 2008, are listed in the following table. The current contact information can be found on the IBBY website:

Other staff members, often employed by supporting organizations, occasionally complement these core representatives. It is worth noting that many of the NS rely on voluntary work and usually develop a great number of wide-reaching activities.

Of the 59 NS that completed and returned the BR, 20 said that they were affiliated or were a branch of another institution; 39 declared themselves to be totally independent. Thus, there is not a prevalence of a single structure, though independent NS are in the majority.

  • Affiliated to another organization or branch of an institution: Australia, Belgium (Flemish branch), Bolivia, Canada, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda, Venezuela.
  • Independent: Albania, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay.

There are NS with their own office and some that do not have one: 38 of the NS have an office and 21 do not.

  • NS with an office: Argentina, Austria, Belgium (Flemish branch), Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Nepal, New Zealand, Palestine, Peru, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United States, Venezuela
  • No office: Albania, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Rwanda, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom,Uruguay

Different NS have different rules regarding their membership. In some cases, membership is restricted to organizations, usually because the IBBY NS is an umbrella organization (e.g. Austria and Croatia). In other cases, members are exclusively individual members, although these will sometimes represent a publishing house or an organization that they direct. By far the most common pattern for membership is a combination of organizations and individuals.

In almost all cases, the NS charge membership fees. Many NS have different categories of membership such as: Student, Individual, Organization, Donor, etc. Most of the NS say that membership fees cover only a small part of their budget.
