1978 CGIAR Integrative Report

Fifth integrative report prepared by the CGIAR Secretariat, which diverges from the format of the previous four. Apart from the budget material, it addresses a single major issue, the impact of international agricultural research, and the implications for CGIAR priorities. This material is based on a literature review by Grant M. Scobie. The financial section presents the needs of the CGIAR in 1979 and 1980, and analyzes significant trends, particularly the growth of off campus activities. The introduction of biennial funding and costs per senior staff member are also discussed. Tables list the centers and members of the CGIAR, and show CGIAR funding by donor, center program budget analysis, growth rates, and number of staff.
