Starting Point: Report on baseline data from membership survey for evaluating success of IFLA’s 2024-2029 Strategy

Abstract

This report presents key findings from the 2025 IFLA Membership Sentiment Survey, which was designed to provide baseline data for evaluating progress against the strategic outcomes of IFLA’s 2024–2029 Strategy. The survey collected insights from members and affiliates across all regions and membership types, focusing on five outcome areas and indicators aligned with the Strategy’s three Impact Areas and one Enabler: membership value, resource awareness, professional development, engagement, and perceptions of IFLA. A separate PowerPoint presentation accompanies this report, containing all the charts featured in the report as well as additional visualisations. IFLA’s committees and other structural units are encouraged to use the survey findings—both from the report and the presentation—as a resource to support planning and strategic decision-making in relation to the work areas defined in IFLA’s 2024–2029 Strategy.
