PERFORMANCE REPORT 2019
TRANSFORMING THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM
TIME TO TRANSFORM
Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals
Across the CGIAR System, we aim to reduce poverty, improve food and nutrition security, and improve natural resources and ecosystem services. These three goals – what we call our System-level Outcomes – have been designed to align with and contribute to reaching the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
In 2019, CGIAR Research Programs and Platforms reported 97 confirmed cases of progress toward our internal targets, bringing us closer to reaching the global goal of a more sustainable world.

Our contribution
Our research is making a difference for poverty, food and nutrition security, and natural resources and ecosystems, in line with global goals. READ MOREA Deeper Dive Into Our Impact
