Alliance Office

The mission of the Alliance Office (AO) is to enable the Centers to contribute more effectively and efficiently to the mission of the CGIAR by cooperating and implementing collective activities whenever and wherever possible. The Alliance Office provides strategic advice and supports and facilitates collective activities undertaken by the Alliance. The Alliance Office works to define and enable the emergence of a clear Alliance position (speaking with one voice) on strategic issues for the CGIAR and facilitating the communication of this position to relevant stakeholders. It facilitates the implementation of Alliance decisions and facilitates links between the Alliance and other parts of the System. The Alliance Office is headed by the Chief Alliance Officer.

The Alliance Office is hosted at FAO headquarters in Rome.
