An international organisation, CABRI is governed by three bodies: the General Assembly, the Management Committee and the Secretariat. An international agreement establishes CABRI.
The General Assembly is the highest decision-making authority. It is composed of all the CABRI member states and meets annually to ratify CABRI’s work plan and budget, adopt audited accounts and provide overall policy direction.

Between 2006 and 2011 CABRI deepened its recognition among senior budget officials, and in the international arena, as a home-grown peer network. The network became a legal entity, following the ratification of its international agreement by the six founding countries: Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, Senegal and South Africa. CABRI’s membership has continued to grow since its establishment as an international organisation in December 2009.
