CGIAR and International Centres

The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is a global partnership that unites organisations engaged in research for sustainable development with funders. The work they support is carried out by 15 members of the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (IARCs).

ACIAR supports the CGIAR and IARCs through the provision of core and project specific funding. The CGIAR and other, selected research centres, receive funding from ACIAR, administered on behalf of the Australian Government. Funding is allocated based on comparative research advantages of the centres. Decisions on funding are made against:

• the relevance of the centre's mandate in the Asia-Pacific region
• the objectives of Australia's aid program
• comparative research advantages applicable to Australia's regional priorities.
