 Development of the CGIAR Fund
The CGIAR approved extensive reforms in 2008, introducing a new organizational architecture and governance model. The unitary oversight model of the old CGIAR is being replaced by two separate but mutually reinforcing pillars, one on operations (the new Consortium of CGIAR Centers) and the other on financing (the new CGIAR Fund), with several new mechanisms forming a bridge between the two pillars. This two-pillar structure provides a clear separation between the “doers” and the “funders.”
The Framework Document for the CGIAR Fund describes the main features of the new CGIAR Fund and the roles, responsibilities, relationships and accountabilities of its components. The document has gone through several iterations (see below) and benefited from views of donors expressed at the London Donor Workshop, outcome of discussion at ExCo 16 , advice provided by the Advisory Group for the Fund, and two e-consultations.
The document was discussed at ExCo 17 November 3 and 4, 2009 and at the 2009 Business Meeting on December 7, 2009.
