CGIAR reform & funding

 Impact at farm level documented
 Quality of research demonstrated
 Innovative partnerships: that deliver R4D
 Transparent technical and financial reporting
Request by Donors for support
Similarity with IITA’s strategic pillars

Mindset change in Donor communities
Gates Foundation, AfDB, IFAD, WB, EC, and USAID
 From project-based to country-level engagement
 Recognition of productivity growth happens at
scale
 Private sector-led agricultural transformation
IITA should adapt to this new reality

Example of how TAAT-AARP-CRPs work
 Industrializing cassava
• TAAT-----Cassava bread policy, scaling up seed system
• AARP----Multilocational trials of weed control, agronomy
• CRPs-----Next generation of cassava with High protein
 Transforming African savanna
• TAAT-----Expanding DTM and promiscuous soybean market
• AARP----Adaptation to climate change and processing
• CRPs-----Biofortification and nonresponsive soils
