The CGIAR System operates according to a set of guidance documents that establish the overall policy and operational environment for the System. Typically, Frameworks set out overall guidance and have underlying Policies and/or Guidelines which guide implementation.

The CGIAR System Council approves documents that are critical to maintaining the reputation of the CGIAR System and the System Board approves other System wide documents.
