Details for Generation Challenge Programme Medium-Term Plan: 2009–2011

The Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) was launched in 2003 as a 10-year initiative in two five-year phases (2003–2008 and 2009–2013). This fifth Medium-Term Plan (MTP) therefore marks GCP’s transition into Phase II.

In its four-year life, the Programme has made remarkable progress in intensive research and strategic planning. Two major developments in 2007–2008 are particularly noteworthy. These developments will have an impact on the GCP research strategy and on the sharing of responsibilities among GCP’s governance, management and advisory groups.
