Sustainable Intensification of Cereal-based Farming Systems in the Sudano-Sahelian
Zone of West Africa: Project Design Workshop, Tamale, Ghana, 9-12 January 2012
Vision and system level outcomes
Vision:
• To reduce poverty and hunger, improve human health
and nutrition, and enhance ecosystem resilience through
high-quality international agricultural research,
partnership and leadership
Outcomes:
• reducing rural poverty
• improving food security
• improving nutrition and health
• sustainable management of natural resources
CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs)
• The ongoing change process will in the near future see
the operations of the CGIAR implemented through a
number Research Programs (CRPs).
• These are aimed to better coordinate R4D efforts,
enhance efficiencies, and encourage cooperation and
collaboration with a focus on effective partnerships to
achieve more development impacts.
CGIAR System on-going Reforms

CRP 1.1 Target Systems
• Areas/systems with the deepest endemic poverty
and most vulnerable populations often associated
with severe natural resource degradation and
extreme environmental variability.
• Systems with the greatest potential for impact on
poverty in the short to medium term
CRP 1.1 Strategic Research Themes
• SRT 1: Approaches and models for strengthening innovation
systems, building stakeholder innovation capacity, and linking
knowledge to policy action
• SRT 2: Reducing vulnerability and managing risk, leading to resilient
dryland agro-ecosystems with less vulnerable and improved
livelihoods of rural communities
• SRT 3: Sustainable intensification for more productive, profitable
and diversified dryland agriculture with well-established linkages to
markets
• SRT 4: Measuring impact and cross-regional synthesis
