The composition of the Executive Board is drawn from “core members” of the ACF designated as: farmer organisations, Government, agribusinesses, agro-NGOs and private/public sector partnerships. Only members from each of the 5 categories of Ordinary members are eligible for election to the Executive Board.
The term of office of each Board member is an initial 3 years which may be renewed for a further term of two years. The Board is required to hold at least four (4) regular meetings each year. The chairperson, elected by the other Board members is also designated as “Executive” ostensibly to strengthen linkages especially at the policy-making level. The Executive Board is responsible for managing the affairs of the ACF and supervises the activities of the Secretariat. The ACF Coordinator is also an ex officio member of the Board. The powers of the Board include the following:
1. Providing a link between the Forum and other authoritative institutions;
2. Mobilization of funds for the Forum;
3. Acquiring, managing and controlling ACF property on behalf of the members;
4. Employing and remunerating staff and external agents (“as they may think fit”) required for proper administration of any business of the ACF. This includes appointing the Coordinator to carry out the day to day administration and management of the ACF;
5. Organizing and managing all ACF events, research, seminars and conferences; and,
6. Formulating by-laws of the Forum.
The AGM and other meetings of the Board “Main ACF” are presently chaired by the Board Chairperson. The agenda for the Forum is expected to be flexible and “demand-driven”, i.e. determined on the basis of what members agree to be priority issues.
