National Organisations may only become Ordinary Members if they have similar objectives as AFLAR and if they share the African culture; must be organized under their national laws and have a governing body, such as a board or an executive committee; and must be non-profit organizations and may not follow gainful or self-help purposes.

Only one National Scientific Society, one National Patient Organisation, and one National HPR Organisation per country can be an Ordinary Member.

A national organization that wishes to become a Member has to send its application to the Board.
