CGIAR at a glance Governance in the CGIAR Global Water Partnership (GWP) On successful partnerships OUTLINE
Created in 1971 64 public and private members - Including 25 developing and 22 industrialized countries 4 Cosponsors (World Bank, FAO, IFAD, UNDP) 15 CGIAR Centers 8,000 scientists and staff CGIAR - A Strategic Alliance
To achieve sustainable food security and reduce poverty in developing countries through scientific research and research-related activities in the fields of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, policy, and environment. MISSION
Agile, world-class knowledge alliance Working at frontier of science, linking science and the poor Provider of public goods that will not be addressed by private sector research Partnerships as key element Mobilizer of resources (finance, knowledge, intellectual property) Vision for the CGIAR
Generation of international public goods (IPG)—knowledge, technology, policy, services- Not national public goods- Not delivery systems- CGIAR works with others who generate national public goods or are involved in delivery A Key Criterion for Selecting Activities Supported by the CGIAR
For every dollar invested in CGIAR since 1971, $9 worth of additional food has been produced. Source: David A.Raitzer, 2003. Benefit-Cost Meta-Analysis of Investment in the international Agricultural Research Centres of the CGIAR. More than 75,000 developing country scientists and researchers have been trained by CGIAR Centers. Without CGIAR research, world food production would have been four to five percent lower, and over 13 million more children would be malnourished. Source: R.E. Evenson and M. Rosengrant, 2003.
