Context
CGIAR is a not-for-profit global research partnership for a food-secure future. CGIAR science is dedicated to reducing poverty, enhancing food and nutrition security, and improving natural resources and ecosystem services. Its research is carried out by 13 CGIAR Centers and Alliances in close collaboration with hundreds of partners, including national and regional research institutes, civil society organizations, academia, development organizations, and the private sector. These 13 Centers and Alliances have more than 10,000 staff based in over 50 countries.
In 2020, CGIAR embarked on an ambitious reform: One CGIAR. One CGIAR is a dynamic reformulation of CGIAR’s partnerships, knowledge, assets, and global presence, aiming for greater integration in the face of the interdependent challenges facing today’s world. It comprises (i) a sharper mission statement and impact focus to 2030, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals; (ii) unified governance under a ‘One CGIAR Common Board’; (iii) institutional integration, including more aligned management under an empowered Executive Management Team, common policies and services, and a unified country presence; (iv) a new research modality; as well as (v) more, and pooled, funding.
The Corporate Performance Management system will be used to consolidate the One CGIAR 2022 transitional budget and further budget planning activities in One CGIAR.The key stakeholders for this project include the cross-center Task Teams from Finance and IT. We have aligned all stakeholders in preparation for implementation.
The key objectives for the first 12 months of this project are the following:
- The translation of the budget information from different entities into one consolidated budget as One CGIAR.
- The ability to retrieve and use data from different systems.
- The development of budget reports and dashboards to monitor the 2022 budget.
- The budget performance measurement along 2022.
