CGIAR 1999 Research Agenda and Initial Proposals for 2001

At MTM97, the Group approved center Medium-Term Plans (MTP) for 1998 to 2000 based on priorities recommended by TAC. These MTPs are rolling three-year plans and the research agenda is reviewed each year in the light of new developments.

The attached report provides TAC's views on the Center Programs and Budgets for 1999. It also includes TAC's observations on the proposals for 2001 in the context of the 1999-2001 center MTPs. The report includes an overview of the criteria used by TAC in its analysis, and provides the Committee's recommendations.

The report will be introduced by the TAC Chair. It should be read in conjunction with that of the CGIAR Secretariat on the Financial Requirements of the 1999 CGIAR Research Agenda (Document No. MTM/98/05).
