Regional Organizations are independent of the IPC and are recognized as the sole representatives of IPC members within a specific part of the world.
They act as liaisons of the IPC, organize regional sporting events, coordinating development activities and providing support to the IPC membership department in the respective regions. They also have the right to participate in IPC activities.
The IPC currently recognizes four Regional Organizations:
- African Paralympic Committee
- European Paralympic Committee
- Oceania Paralympic Committee
Until an independent Regional Organization is created in the Americas, the IPC has established the Americas Paralympic Committee.
