A CGIAR Research Center
International Center for Agricultural Research
in the Dry Areas (ICARDA)
Zewdie Bishaw
http://www.icarda.org/
ICARDA was established in 1977 with focus on non-tropical drylands
in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) and Sub-Sahhran
Africa: headquartered in Syria but currently relocated in Lebanon
Global and regional mandates sharing responsibilities with sister CG
centers operating within CRP context:
1. Crop improvement
• Global: Barley, faba bean, lentil and grass pea
• Regional: Wheat with CIMMYT and Chickpea with ICRISAT
• Seed systems
2. Natural resource management: land and water
3. Livestock: Small ruminants, feed resources, rangelands
4. Socio-economics and policy: Targeting, diversification,

ICARDA has three research programs
• Biodiversity and Crop Improvement Program (BCIP):
Genetic resources, crop improvement, biotechnology, crop
protection, seed delivery systems
• Resilient Agricultural Livelihoods Systems Program
(RALSP): System diversification & intensification
• Small ruminant (genomics, breeding, markets), feed
resources, rangelands
• Conservation agriculture, agronomy
• Targeting, value chains, adoption and impact, policy
• Water and Land Management and Ecosystems
Program (WLMEP): Water (supplementary irrigation,
water harvesting, watershed, raised bed technology) and
land management (fertility, salinity)
ICARDA- Research themes and locations
Distribute international nurseries to close to 150 cooperators in
over 50 countries and released 1107 improved crop varieties

ICARDA- Research themes and locations
• Within its decentralization strategy it operates
via research platforms or thematic research
locations in certain geographic regions
• Morocco: Rainfed Drylands crop improvement program
(North Africa)
• Ethiopia: Integrated crop-livestock research platform
(SSARP)
• Egypt: Water and Land management (NVRP)
• India: Legumes (South Asia and China Regional Program)
• Country offices: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Uzbekistan
Sub-Saharan Africa and Nile Valley Regional Program
(Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan
and Tanzania with spillover to other SSA-West and
South Africa)

1. Crop Improvement: Varietal releases
• Several cereal and legume varieties released in collaboration with NARS
• Rust resistant wheats & lentils
• High yielding and better malt quality barley
• Orobanche and water logging tolerant faba bean
• Ascochyta resistance and large seeded Kabuli chickpea

New ICARDA Strategy 2017-2026
Science-based solutions for thriving and resilient drylands.
Thriving and resilient livelihoods in dry areas of the developing world with
robust incomes, secure access to food, markets, nutrition and health, and the
capacity to manage natural resources in equitable, sustainable, innovative ways.
Our Mission
To reduce poverty, food and nutritional insecurity and environmental
degradation in the face of climate change.
We will seek:
• innovative science-based solutions for improving the livelihoods and resilience
of the resource-poor in non-tropical drylands in order to reduce poverty,
enhance food, nutrition, and water security, through the sustainable
management of natural resources in the face of climate change.
• cutting-edge science, strategic partnerships and capacity development for
inclusive and equitable growth.
Our Vision
Built on past achievements and focus on emerging challenges

THE CENTER IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING THE ADVANTAGES OF ITS NEW DECENTRALIZED RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE: CLOSER PROXIMITY TO PARTNER COUNTRIES AND FARMERS, GREATER FLEXIBILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS TO GLOBAL CHALLENGES, AND THE IMPROVED DELIVERY OF NEW INNOVATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES. FROM A SITUATION OF ADVERSITY, THE CENTER HAS EMBRACED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME MORE EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE, AND RELEVANT.
  2. MAIN MESSAGE: ICARDA HAS LAUNCHED ITS NEW STRATEGIC PLAN 2017-2026. THE STRATEGY OUTLINES OUR RESEARCH & ORGANIZATIONAL APPROACH FOR ACTION TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION OF THRIVING & RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN THE DRY AREAS OF THE DEVELOPING WORLD. IT LAYS THE GROUNDWORK FOR BUILDING ON FORTY YEARS OF PAST ACHIEVEMENTS, LESSONS LEARNED AND SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS AND INVESTMENTS AT REGIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVELS. MAIN MESSAGE: OUR STRATEGIC MISSION IS TO REDUCE POVERTY, FOOD, WATER AND NUTRITIONAL INSECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE THOUGH CUTTING EDGE SCIENCE, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS&CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT. Strategy is aligned with national development priorities of the countries we work in, the wider Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda for 2030 and the SRF 2016-2030 of the CGIAR system and climate agreements. This new Strategic Plan ensures that the research ICARDA undertakes and the knowledge it generates continues to be demand-driven, relevant and addresses the challenges of smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth. We recognize that innovation, adaptation and resilience are key to the future of the organization, just as they are to the future of people in the non-tropical dry areas. The ideas we have are bold and ambitious, and we strongly believe that, underpinned by sufficient resources, they will allow us to achieve the results our partners & stakeholders need & deserve. Cutting-edge, relevant scientific research will spur agricultural transformation and forge a brighter future for millions of women, men and young people.
  3. MAIN MESSAGE: THE NEW STRATEGY LEVERAGES ICARDA’S STRENGTHS AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES– SOME OF WHICH ARE UNIQUE TO ICARDA.
  4. MAIN MESSAGE: OUR STRATEGY IS DESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO THE SDGS  AND ARE FULLY ALIGNED WITH CGIAR’s SRF: REDUCED POVERTY, FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES. 5 STRATEGIC RESEARCH OUTCOMES AND 4 CROSS-CUTTING OUTCOMES – FOCUSING ON PARTNERSHIPS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE RESEARCH TO SCALE. Support resilient and profitable smallholder farming systems that are climate protected in hotter and dryer climates – a 4 Degree World. Address the yield gaps through improved agronomic practices; Support demand proven value chains in the mandated crops and livestock and move to higher value products. Generate new & better job opportunities for youth &women in agricultural service sectors and functional value chains & markets &empower them through capacity building and Improve on-farm water productivity in irrigated & rainfed production systems; tap into new water.
