Goals of the CGIAR MTM 2000

CGIAR members and partners will meet to discuss the future of the CGIAR.

A key point on the agenda will be TAC's recommendations for a new strategy, and answers to the following questions:

  1. What should the CGIAR be doing and producing?
  2. How should it be doing it?
