Dear All,
Central Asia and the Caucasus Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (CACAARI) expresses its high respect and has an honor to inform you that the Association serves as a platform for collaboration and actions on Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) in the Central Asia and the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). One of the key tasks for the CACAARI is to maintain constant liaison with global and regional institutions on ARD as well as international agencies and national institutions related to ARD including farmers’ organizations, NGOs, universities and research institutes.
In the period June 10-11, 2010, the 2nd Meeting of the Consortium of Non-government organizations (CNGO) and the 2nd Meting of the Consortium of Farmer Organizations (CFO) as well as Annual Meeting of the CACAARI Steering Committee were held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
During those meetings various issues were discussed among stakeholders represented by all CAC countries and some international institutions.
Among them, approval of CNGO and CFO Charters as well as CACAARI Constitution, participation of CACAARI in GCARD-2010 Process and its follow up, further activities by CACAARI and other issues related to strengthening of CNGO, CFO and CACAARI, in general.
For instance, during voting for a new Chairman of CACAARI, all Steering Committee members unanimously selected Acad. Djamin Akimaliev from Kyrgyzstan who will start his service from October 2010.
Besides, in order to appoint new Executive Secretary of CACAARI, a draft TOR was revised by the audience. After all discussions on the text of the TOR were held, it was eventually approved by the Steering Committee.
We appreciate your efforts in regional ARD and look forward to our further collaboration.
Yours sincerely,
Acad. Hukmatullo Akhmadov
