The Consultative
Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) welcomed
almost 1,000 International and Kenyan policy makers, agricultural
research experts, scientists and development specialists to
the Group's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Nairobi, Kenya
from October 28 to October 31, 2003. Participants discussed
agricultural research and technology, food policy initiatives
and new ways of working to ensure that world class science
continues to address critical global challenges while delivering
real benefits to the poor.
Kenya
joined the CGIAR in 1995 and has made substantial contributions
to international agricultural research, including hosting
the headquarters of the World Agroforestry Centre and the
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The Kenya
Agricultural Research Institute ( KARI) works closely with
many CGIAR Centers and in 1997 received the CGIAR Outstanding
Scientific Partnership Award for its leadership role in establishing
effective partnerships through community development projects
with stakeholders.
