The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research
By: David E. Bell and Hal Hogan
Abstract
The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) has a long, successful history at inventing solutions that help developing countries improve their agriculture. Their research centers are spread across the globe. For many years, they were funded by sponsors who took a long-term view--commensurate with the necessary horizon for R&D. Increasingly though, donors want faster, evidence-based payoffs to their donations. How should CGIAR adapt?
