Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa

       

       

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is the second-highest governing organ of CODESRIA after the General Assembly. It provides strategic leadership to the Council and exercises oversight over the Council’s overall activities that are implemented by the Executive Secretariat. The Committee is elected by the General Assembly and has 10 members, with equal representation from the five sub-regions of the continent: Southern Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, North Africa and West Africa.

The Committee meets at least twice a year to assess programme implementation and approve the annual budget and work plan of the Council.

The Committee is accountable to the General Assembly and is chaired by the President, with the Executive Secretary as an ex-officio member.

Members of the current Executive Committee were elected at the 16th General Assembly held in 2023 in Dakar, Senegal. They include:
