National Subud Organizations legally form the World Subud Association (WSA) with approximately 54 member countries. However, worldwide Subud exists in about 83 countries.

Helpers and committees have distinct responsibilities, but they work alongside each other throughout the Subud organization. The ‘kejiwaan’ structure parallels the committee structure, from the local group to the international level, except that the committee side of the organization at the international level is usually divided into nine Zones, whereas the international helpers are grouped into three Areas.
