The CGIAR Integrated Partnership Board, as the governing body of both the CGIAR System Organization and the Integrated Partnership, provides dynamic leadership and governance to advance CGIAR’s mission. This includes the appointment and oversight of the Executive Managing Director.
The Integrated Partnership Board is accountable to the CGIAR System Council (“System Council”) for overseeing the implementation of the Integrated Partnership’s vision, strategic direction, partnership strategy, governance and financial and programmatic performance. It is also accountable to the General Assembly of Centers for governance of the Integrated Partnership, particularly in areas elevated for integration or coordination.
The Integrated Partnership Board’s functions are described in Article 8 of the Charter of the CGIAR System Organization.
Note: The Board of the CGIAR System Organization was known as the CGIAR System Board prior to October 2024, and as the CGIAR System Management Board prior to September 2020. This earlier terminology is therefore used in titles of earlier meetings and documents.
