About the event
CGIAR, the world’s largest global agricultural research organization, has this year embarked on a reformulation of its partnerships, knowledge, assets and global presence as “One CGIAR,” aiming for greater integration and impact in the face of the interdependent challenges facing today’s world. To achieve the CGIAR mission of “Ending hunger by 2030 — through science to transform food, land and water systems in a climate crisis,” and deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an inspiring new CGIAR 2030 Research Strategy has been developed.
Ensuring food security and nutrition for all requires multi-stakeholder approaches and transformative partnerships for change. Crucially, the new research portfolio provides an opportunity for revitalizing and strengthening CGIAR’s partnerships to have impact at scale. This Side Event aimed to allow participants to: 1) gain a better understanding of One CGIAR and the opportunities for renewed partnerships that it provides; and 2) influence the type of research that CGIAR will do as it develops its new research portfolio to address the emerging challenges in food, land and water systems.

Due to technical difficulties during the event, Lawrence Haddad’s comments may be difficult to hear. We invite you to read his thoughts about strategic directions for One CGIAR in his guest blog, published after the event.
