Individual Partnership Action Plans, or IPAPs, are plans developed between NATO and different countries, that state the objectives and the communication framework for dialogue and cooperation between both parties. NATO launched the IPAPs initiative at the 2002 Prague Summit.

IPAPs are in implementation with the following countries:

Armenia,[2] Azerbaijan,[3] Kazakhstan, Moldova[4] and Ukraine[5] have stated they have no current intention to join NATO. Georgia is currently negotiating for NATO membership[6] while Montenegro[7] and Bosnia and Herzegovina[8] on the other hand are actively working towards future NATO membership.
