Description Why Medium-Term Plans?
In 2006 we developed our Vision and Strategy to 2015. To fulfill this Vision, we write three-year Medium-Term Plans (MTPs), updating them
annually. These MTPs guide our specific activities that lead to the attainment of the Vision.
This brochure highlights our Medium-Term Plan for 2008-2010. The full Plan is available for download from our website.
Current and emerging challenges and opportunities
The rolling MTPs enable us to annually adjust to changing circumstances and emerging priorities and opportunities. Such trends that are
apparent during this planning period include:
Strengthening host-country relationships, including novel tripartite partnerships engaging both the government and the private-
sector with ICRISAT;
The crucial roles played by recently-established pan-African institutions and frameworks such as FARA, NEPAD and CAADP;
Increasing donor interest in overcoming longstanding fundamental problems in Africa such as its debt burden, hunger, poverty,
malnutrition and AIDS, all of which have strong agricultural tie-ins; and
The ‘globalization’ of our research agenda on emergent issues of bioenergy, high-value crops, water scarcity, land degradation,
food safety, health and nutrition, and climate change.
