ICARDA's research portfolio spans the entire research-development continuum, ensuring that research outputs translate into tangible benefits at farm level. There are four integrated, multidisciplinary programs, each with a major capacity building component:
The
research agenda in each program is built on themes and sub-themes, designed
to produce, through integrated research and training efforts, targeted outputs
that contribute to the Center's objectives.
The integrated research and training activities include those carried out at
headquarters and/or in collaboration with NARS (facilitated by the Center's
outreach programs). These are complemented by the activities associated with
the Center's participation in Challenge Programs, Systemwide Programs, Ecoregional
Programs, and global initiatives.
