The document summarizes CGIAR reform efforts to create a more coordinated and impactful agricultural research system. Key points: - CGIAR previously had an increasingly complicated structure with multiple priorities; reform aimed to increase food security and poverty impact. - The new CGIAR model establishes a Consortium to provide leadership and coordination across 15 research centers and common programs. - Research is organized around a single Strategy and Results Framework focused on four outcomes: reduced rural poverty, improved food security, improved nutrition and health, and sustainably managed natural resources. - The Consortium will work to strengthen partnerships across sectors to deliver on its vision of alleviating poverty and hunger through agricultural research.
