CIAT is a not-for-profit organization that conducts socially and environmentally progressive research aimed at reducing hunger and poverty and preserving natural resources in developing countries. CIAT is one of the 15 centers funded mainly by the 58 countries, private foundations, and international organizations that make up the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). CIAT currently receives funds through the CGIAR or under specific projects from the countries and organizations listed below. We gratefully acknowledge their commitment and contributions.
CIAT staff work hard to build ties with others through collaborative research organized around projects. Our partners include other international centers, national research institutes, universities, nongovernment organizations, the private sector, and rural communities. We work with them under a variety of innovative arrangements, such as consortia and networks, at the local, regional, and global levels. Through strategic alliances with advanced institutes, we bring valuable scientific expertise to bear on the central challenges of tropical agriculture. As a service to its partners, the Center provides varied offerings in training and conferences, specialized services in information and documentation, and a broad program of communications.
