The Executive Committee includes a representative of each of the STAR IDAZ IRC Partners and the Scientific Committee Chair.

The Executive Committee coordinates research funding strategies to address identified research priorities such as those identified by the Scientific Committee.

Members of this Committee should promote support for STAR IDAZ IRC objectives from the livestock and animal health industries and services and the wider donor community.

The Executive Committee meets twice a year.
