ISNAR’s Transition Process from AGM03 to March 2004
(Internal Document, 2004-05-01) Eckebil, Jacques; Janssen, Willem; MacNeil, Gordon
This paper has been prepared at the request of the ISNAR Board of Trustees, and addresses readers who are familiar with the CGIAR and its evolution. It has two objectives:(1) to document, as part of the center's historical record, the process that led up to the closure of ISNAR as an independent organization and its transformation into a distinct Program of IFPRI. This will be done by providing an overview of the last years of ISNAR's life and by analyzing the progression of events from early 2002 to the closing of the doors of ISNAR as an independent center on 31 March 2004(2) to attempt to draw the first lessons from the process, and to make a few suggestions for the future of the ISNAR Program within IFPRI.The paper has four main sections. The first section reviews the key facts of the transition presented in a detailed time line, and divided into three periods: events before AGM03, what happened at AGM03, and events afterwards until the closure of the center. An analysis of the costs of the transition completes this section. The second section briefly places the ISNAR transition in the context of the planned realignment of the current CGIAR structure. The third section analyzes the transition process from ISNAR's perspective, distinguishing between positive outcomes and difficulties experienced. The fourth and last section attempts to discuss lessons learned and makes a few suggestions for the future ISNAR Program.

(Internal Document, 2001-12-01) CGIAR Secretariat
This reports describes the CGIAR Reform Program of 2001. The CGIAR, which launched a change design and management initiative in October 2000, undertook a far-reaching program of reform in 2001, affecting its governance, programs, science, management, and potential impact.

A second set of decisions, taken at the first CGIAR Annual General Meeting in October, fleshed out the initial decisions with operational details.The reform program:· limits meetings of the CGIAR to once-a-year, and provides for business to beconducted through a small Executive Council between annual meetings;· initiates the development of Challenge Programs that respond directly tomajor concerns on the global development agenda;· transforms the CGIAR Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) into a ScienceCouncil consisting of a few, high level science policy strategists; and· establishes a CGIAR System Office to facilitate coherence and cost effectivenessin system management.
