Challenges
To increase the impact of the global maize
and wheat innovation network formed by CIMMYT and its partners,
new methods are needed to build capacity, strengthen policy
research, and develop center and system-wide decision tools.
This requires research with a global focus to understand changes
affecting the economic, political, and institutional environments
in which CIMMYT operates; to identify cross-cutting issues
that transcend national and regional boundaries; to ensure
that resources are being used efficiently and effectively;
to identify key entry points for policy interventions; and
to ensure the consistency and coherency of CIMMYT's policies
and statements on issues of importance to the Center and its
partners.
Activities
- Enhance the capacities of CIMMYT and
its partners through learning and knowledge management skills,
through collaborative research, and through mentoring.
- Design policy interventions and advocate
for change.
- Monitor trends in the world maize and
wheat economies
- Contribute to setting overall research
priorities and to assessing impact.
- Produce new information and methods for
research, policy advocacy, and priority setting.
