The CGIAR System operates according to a set of guidance documents that establish the overall policy and operational environment for the System. Typically, Frameworks set out overall guidance and have underlying Policies and/or Guidelines which guide implementation.
The CGIAR System Council approves documents that are critical to maintaining the reputation of the CGIAR System and the System Management Board approves other System wide documents.
