New CGIAR Web Site Launched

The CGIAR web site (www.cgiar.org) has been revamped. Based on 18 months of user feedback and web use statistics, the content was updated and repackaged so as to improve navigation and enhance user friendliness. New content includes:

  • Story of the month focusing on Center scientific achievements and impact
  • Newsroom for media and communications professionals
  • CGIAR image-based factoid presentation
  • Interactive components on the Welcome Page, such as a “Tell us About Yourself” questionnaire, and a “Test your Knowledge” quiz
  • New information on genebanks and databases
  • Restricted area for CGIAR Members
  • “CGIAR in Action” in Afghanistan, Colombia, Kenya, with more to follow

If you have bookmarked pages from the old site, we suggest you modify your “Favorites” page as the site structure has changed.

As always, feedback is welcome. Please send your comments to cgiar@cgiar.org
