It is the biggest and most influential media development and freedom of expression organisation in the region with UN ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council) Consultative Status.

The organisation also has a partnership agreement with the regional inter-governmental body, ECOWAS and engages frequently with mechanisms of the African Union (AU) and the UN.
