CGIAR System Office Integrated Business Plan 2003

In May 2001, the interim CGIAR Executive Council (ExCo) established a Task Force on the System Office, to articulate proposals covering key aspects of the establishment of a System Office. The Task Force reported to the interim Executive Council in September 2001. At AGM01, the CGIAR made the decision to establish the CGIAR System Office, as one of the four initial pillars of the CGIAR reform program, and at the same time it assigned a priority task for the System Office. The IBP is composed of two parts, the Business Case, and the Integrated Operating Plan (IOP).
