CACAARI governance lies with the Steering Committee (SC), which meets once a year to discuss the state of affairs in one of the countries of Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC).

Currently the Steering Committee consists of eight leaders of NARS from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The proposal has been made to expand the SC to include new stakeholders. The new SC should include:

• 8 delegates from each CAC country
• 1 representative from farming sector (farmer or farmer association representative)
• 1 NGO representative
• 1 private sector representative
• 1 education representative
• 1 woman association representative
• 1 representative from CGIAR-CAC program

Total: 14 members
