ISPC Commentary on the Revised Proposal for CRP 4: Agriculture for Improved Nutrition & Health
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In recognition that CRP4 represents a new initiative within the CGIAR, the proponents call for a startup phase of one year (which will effectively be 2012 rather than 2011) and reprioritization of the program in year 4 (Table 22). The ISPC recommends that the revised CRP 4 proposal be approved subject to further revisions to be addressed during the implementation phase taking into account the following commentary. The ISPC stands ready to review the CRP4 proposal at the end of the implementation phase and before new research is entered into. The remainder of the commentary is structured according to the seven ISPC and seventeen FC’ ‘Must Haves’ of the previous commentary.
