The Scientific Committee is a more recent organ of the Council. It is an advisory committee that counsels the Executive Committee and Executive Secretariat on scientific matters. It is also responsible for the scientific evaluation of CODESRIA’s programmes and contributes to the development of the Council’s scientific agenda. It is made up of 12 members appointed by the Executive Committee. The Executive Secretary serves as an ex-officio member.
Members serve for a period of two years renewable only once. In June 2019, the 92nd Executive Committee meeting in Dakar appointed the following as members of the current committee:
