Item CGIAR 2030 Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands(Report, 2024-07-01) International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas; International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid TropicsCGIAR is dedicated to creating a world where sustainable and resilient agrifood systems provide safe, healthy, and affordable diets, improve livelihoods, and ensure greater social equality while keeping within environmentally sustainable boundaries . Transforming dryland food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis through science and innovation is crucial for achieving this mission. Drylands cover 46% of the world’s land , are home to around 38% of the global population, and support nearly 44% of the world’s agricultural systems, including half of its livestock . The drylands - already challenging areas for predictable food production - face mounting pressures from extreme climate change and variability, water scarcity, land degradation, and loss of the biodiversity and ecosystem services that support agrifood systems. Our efforts must keep pace with these challenges, for the sake of the current drylands, and for the areas that may turn into drylands in the future as the impacts of climate change become ever more evident. The CGIAR 2030 Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands has been developed to align with the 2030 CGIAR Research and Innovation Strategy. It presents the informed and coordinated approach that CGIAR will take to contribute to the sustainable and resilient transformation of dryland agrifood systems, building on our unique value proposition and track record of co-creating and co-delivering innovative research and impact in the drylands. It also aligns with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This strategy was developed through extensive consultations with stakeholders across CGIAR and our partner network, informed by research and a foresight study on future global dryland scenarios. This process brought together expertise across CGIAR Centers, our partners, countries, and disciplines to build consensus on the opportunities and challenges to realizing our vision. As a result, five key opportunities for dryland transformation and investment were prioritized: (1) optimized agrifood systems for climate adaptation; (2) conserving and using biodiversity for community and ecosystem resilience; (3) managing soil, land, and water systems for sustainable production; (4) ensuring access to sustainable, healthy diets to alleviate hunger and malnutrition; and (5) translating evidence-based approaches into policy for development. Underpinning these opportunities are our cross-cutting approaches to gender equality, youth, and social inclusion; innovation, scaling and adoption; working in fragile and conflict-affected areas; and partnerships and advocacy. Through a coordinated systems approach, we will pool our capacity and expertise, including through our diverse network of partners, to move beyond incremental change and towards structural transformation for dryland communities.Item Update on the design of CGIAR's 2025-30 research and innovation portfolio(Presentation, 2024-04-10) CGIARItem CGIAR Portfolio Narrative: 2025–2030(Internal Document, 2024-11-15) CGIARItem CGIAR Portfolio Narrative 2025-2030, version of 8 May 2024(Internal Document, 2024-05-08) CGIARItem Learning and Optimization Report: CGIAR Technical Reporting 2023(Report, 2024-07) CGIAR System OrganizationItem CGIAR Genetic Innovation Action Area: Theory of Change and Results Framework(Internal Document, 2023-12-11) Bonaiuti, Enrico; Vermeulen, Sonja; Belcher, Brian; Philip Craven Thiele, Graham; Hunt, Adam Christopher; Barker, Ian; Derera, John; Lusty, Charlotte; Syed Alwee, Sharifah ShahrulThe theory of change depends on all work being done within partnerships, particularly with national research and extension systems(NARES) and with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) active in the national breeding and seed sectors. A core focus is to raise the NARES-CGIAR-SME breeding networks’ collective strategic and operational capacity to deliver a high rate of uptake and replacement in seed varieties among small-scale farmers in low- and medium- income countries. Co-generated genetic innovations will be delivered as part of integrated solutions across CGIAR. Together with System Transformation and Resilient Agrifood Systems Action Areas for food, land and water systems, and through close cooperation with CGIAR’s strategic partners, Genetic Innovation will enable progress on nationally defined pathways for development. Major effort will go into achieving affordable, accessible and fair benefits to low-income farmers, with particular emphasis on ensuring that research outcomes lead to greater equality for women. Genetic Innovation will contribute across all five of CGIAR’s Impact Areas, through maintenance of agrobiodiversity and through accelerated adoption by farmers of demand-driven improved crop varieties, delivered as part of integrated bundles of institutional and technical innovations that are designed to respond to priorities in partner countries.Item Learning and Optimization Report: CGIAR Technical Reporting 2022(Report, 2023) CGIAR System OrganizationItem A focus group discussion on the Results Framework process: Results Framework FGD Workshop Report(Report, 2023-06) Schutz, TonjaItem Report on Quality Assurance (Focus Group Discussion part of the 2022 Technical Report Learning & Optimization process)(Report, 2023-06-30) CGIAR System Management OfficeItem Report on Innovation Packages and Scaling Readiness (IPSR) and Reflect: Focus Group Discussion part of the 2022 Technical Report Learning and Optimization process(Report, 2023-04-30) CGIAR System Management OfficeItem 2023 Learning and Optimization Process: Focus Group Discussion on the Results Framework(Presentation, 2023-06-22) CGIAR System Management OfficeItem 2022 Learning and Optimization: Focus Group Discussion on the QA process(Presentation, 2023-06-20) CGIAR System Management OfficeItem 2023 Learning and Optimization Process: Inaugural Focus Group Discussion with IDTs(Presentation, 2023-04-18) CGIAR System Management OfficeItem Toward greater impact: A CGIAR Engagement Framework for Partnerships and Advocacy(Internal Document, 2024-03) CGIAR System OrganizationCGIAR's Engagement Framework for Partnerships and Advocacy builds on the recommendations of the CGIAR System Council that for greater impact towards the transformation of food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis, a consistent approach to partnerships and advocacy is required. While CGIAR has always relied on engagement with an extensive and diverse network of partners around the world to deliver solutions that benefit millions of people, the One CGIAR reform has highlighted the need for collaboration to become more systemic to better capture strategic opportunities and synergies across the organization.Item Regional Integrated Initiatives (RIIs) and Global Thematic Initiatives (GTIs)(Presentation, 2022-11-23) Kropff, MartinItem ISDC Engagement Guidelines for Investment Advisory Group Participation(Independent Commentary, 2021-06) CGIAR Independent Science for Development CouncilItem Towards a Cohesive and Coherent 2022 - 2024 Investment Prospectus: ISDC Review of the Companion Document(Independent Commentary, 2021-11) CGIAR Independent Science for Development CouncilItem Incubating Innovation: A One CGIAR Culture and Mindset(Brief, 2021-12) CGIAR Independent Science for Development CouncilItem The 36 Golden Eggs for the 2021 Transfer Market Place(Report, 2021-06) CGIAR System OrganizationItem ISDC Reflections on Emerging One CGIAR Research Portfolio and Investment Plan(Independent Commentary, 2021-04) CGIAR Independent Science for Development CouncilThe Executive Management Team (EMT) requested the Independent Science for Development Council (ISDC) to comment on the preliminary set of Research Initiatives. The rapid evolution of the Investment Plan presents limited information and time to review. Therefore, this document provides brief reflections that used additional information such as material from the 12th CGIAR System Council Meeting and learnings shared from the ISDC Investment Advisory Group (IAG) members.
