Explore the CGIAR Impacts in Agrifood Systems report
The report synthesizes the results of over 100 impact assessment studies published between 2022 and 2024. It offers evidence-based assurance that long-term investments in CGIAR have contributed to meaningful impacts, and that recent investments have contributed to meaningful outcomes, which in time are likely to lead to further impacts.
“This report is not just a record of results – it is a reflection of our shared ambition and accountability. It presents the results achieved by CGIAR, reported within the 2022 to 2024 period, and places them in the context of our wider, long-term impacts.”
Dr. Ismahane Elouafi, CGIAR Executive Managing Director
Impacts and outcomes are presented by continent: Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and Asia and the Pacific. They are also assessed by CGIAR impact area: poverty reduction, nutrition, health and food security, climate, social inclusion and environmental health and biodiversity.
