Program Advisory Committee

An external, inter-disciplinary Program Advisory Committee (PAC) of experts from developing and developed countries recommends strategic research priorities, oversees project progress, and implements a transparent competitive grants process. Although the PAC is not a legal entity, it has the authority of the CIAT and IFPRI Boards to undertake its mandate as an independent body.
