Commonwealth countries
More than two billion people in 54 countries across six continents from Antigua and Barbuda to Zambia can count themselves to be citizens of the Commonwealth.
Membership extends to rich and poor nations alike in both northern and southern hemispheres. Some member states are landlocked, others are small island nations. Each faces its own unique challenges.
All 54 Commonwealth governments are eligible to become members of the Commonwealth Foundation. Total membership stands today at 47 countries. Associated states or overseas territories may apply for associate member status. Gibraltar is currently an associate member.
