CGIAR and International Centres News

ACIAR supports the CGIAR and non-affiliated international agricultural research centres through the provision of core funding and project specific funding. The CGIAR and other, selected research centres, receive around AUD10 million a year 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.
