The discussion on the benefits of CGIAR is still open:
Your comments are very welcome.

In this context it is also interesting to look at the
Electronic Conference: "Enhancing Civil Society Input into
the CGIAR". Its aim is to encourage and allow key actors
in civil society to participate in the discussions and
debates about the future directions of the CG system and
to influence the system's research agenda. You find it on:
http://www.rimisp.cl/ngoc/
