Please note this section is being revised. A new, updated dashboard is underway for June 2025.
CGIAR’s commitment to Gender, Diversity and Inclusion (GDI) has been reconfirmed in the GDI Framework and Action Plan. In accordance with the 2020 objectives of the latter, and to establish a robust baseline and monitoring system for measuring and propelling GDI progress, the following have been created:
- shared CGIAR definition of staffing categories and diversity dimensions (1.2.a)
- online tool to enable efficient GDI data collection (1.2.b)
To facilitate alignment and systemization for collecting cross-System GDI-related data, an online reporting site has been developed for all Centers and Alliances to use. Results of reporting are presented in the CGIAR Workforce Dashboard.
Diversity Dimensions for Workforce Data
The new common staff index and shared diversity dimensions represents the most robust and exhaustive overview of all CGIAR personnel to date, reflecting CGIAR’s strong commitment to transparency and accountability through identifying areas in need of greater diversity.
The comprehensive picture of workforce diversity provided allows for an intersectional examination of diversity, across the System and in Centers and Alliances. This includes providing a view across select dimensions including gender, age, nationality, education, recruitment type, duty post, tenure, seniority, disciplinary area, and household composition.
While numbers on representation help us to quickly identify areas in need of advancement, to truly create an inclusive culture, GDI dimensions must be supported by policies, standard guidance, training and a robust internal GDI network to ensure CGIAR workplaces are welcoming to, and supportive of, all staff. Progress towards these activities and their outcomes are captured by the CGIAR GDI Matrix.
