Overview

The CGIAR Liaison Office for Asia and Pacific connects CGIAR’s global science with regional priorities to support resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems.

Working across diverse contexts, from major rice systems and river deltas to coastal fisheries and dryland ecosystems, the Liaison Office aligns research, partnerships, and policy engagement with national and regional development goals.

Through close collaboration with governments, national agricultural research systems, regional organizations, and development partners, CGIAR supports demand-driven solutions that translate science into impact at scale across Asia and the Pacific.
