De Internationale Associatie van Facilitators (IAF) heeft als missie het promoten, ondersteunen en bevorderen van de kunst en uitvoering van professioneel faciliteren; zij doet dit ondermeer door het uitwisselen van methoden/werkwijzen, persoonlijke groei, praktisch onderzoek, collegiaal netwerken en support services. Wereldwijde collega-collega netwerken (peer-to-peer networks), professionele ontwikkeling, intervisie, certificering en jaarlijkse conferenties zijn essentiële manieren om deze missie te realiseren en zij weerspiegelen de uitgangspunten die IAF uitdraagt.
