International Potato Center releases annual report

The three cross cutting themes of gender, partnerships, and capacity building are the main focus of the 2014 CIP annual report. Cooperation is the common thread that binds them all.

In addition to finding out more about CIP’s 6% growth in revenue, the annual report provides on-the-ground vignettes of how CIP is “brokering relationships” that benefit the world’s poor. Case studies on the inclusion of women in Bangladesh, the growth of National Agriculture Research Systems (NARS) in Africa, and how a partnership with the local government in Odisha, India is enhancing sweet potato production and improving incomes, are highlighted.

The year 2014 continued CIP’s upward trend in financial health. From 2012 to 2014 CIP won an additional $15 million in funding. This additional revenue is due in large part to donors allocating funds to specific CGIAR centers. A breakdown of CIP’s finances as well as where to go for a full financial background can also be found in the annual report.
