The International Working Group (IWG) is a consultative body of the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), which includes experts from governmental institutions, national statistical offices, population research institutes and academia from countries participating in the Programme. Representatives of more than 30 countries have participated in IWG meetings.

The meetings of the IWG are an important vehicle for co-ordination as they provide a forum for direct interaction between the Consortium Board and its working groups that are developing the common programme instruments, on the one hand, and the institutions responsible for implementing the programme in the participating countries, on the other hand.
