CGIAR establishes new Board
CGIAR's new governing board took effect Monday, 15 June 2026, following approval by the System Council, the Integrated Partnership Board, and the General Assembly of Centers.
The CGIAR Board brings together 12 Board Chairs of the CGIAR Research Centers alongside six independent members. The structure was agreed through consultation with funders, Centers, and governance bodies, and is reflected in amendments to the CGIAR System Framework and Charter approved by all three governing bodies.
In the coming weeks the CGIAR Board will focus on establishing its Nominations Committee, appointing an independent Chair and putting in place its operating procedures.
Further information on the CGIAR Board's composition and CGIAR governance is available on the CGIAR governance pages.
