International Potato Center
The International Potato Center
(known by its
Spanish acronym CIP) is a research-for-development organization with a

focus on potato, sweetpotato, and Andean roots and tubers. CIP is dedicated
to delivering sustainable science-based solutions to the pressing world issues
of hunger, poverty, gender equity, climate change and the preservation of
our Earths fragile biodiversity and natural resources.
Our vision is roots and tubers improving the lives of the poor.
Our mission is to work with partners to achieve food security, wellbeing, and gender equity for poor people in root and tuber farming and food
systems in the developing world. We do this through research and innovation
in science, technology, and capacity strengthening.

STATEMENT FROM
the Board Chair
In 2011, the CIP Board of Trustees met in Beijing China, along with Chinas Minister of Agriculture Han. Pictured from left to right are:
S. Ayyappan, Jose Valle-Riestra, Stella Williams, Simon Best, Pamela K. Anderson (CIP, DG), Hon. Han Changfu (Minister of Agriculture),
Peter VanderZaag (Board Chair), Phyllis Kibui, Zhang Taolin (Vice-Minister of Agriculture), Lu Xiaoping.
2011 was an exciting year for CIP. We celebrated the Centers 40th
anniversary
and set into place a new organizational structure to lead CIPs management and research
agenda into a new decade of growth, challenges, and opportunities.
Today, CIP employs a sta of over 600 people, spread across oces in nearly 30 dierent
countries. In the coming years, we anticipate that CIPs size and reach will expand considerably.
The organizations complexity and expected growth require strong, sophisticated management
including a full complement of senior-level administrators. They also drive the need for a
atter structure to decentralize decision-making and accountability, while also recognizing
the strong and diverse leadership talent base of our sta around the world.
This year, CIP instituted a new level of senior leaders at CIP headquarters and in its four regions.
Several new positions were created. For the rst time, CIP has a Chief Operating Ocer (COO),
Chief Financial Ocer (CFO), and Deputy Director for the CIP China Center for Asia and the
Pacic (DDG-CCCAP). In addition, there are four new Regional Operations Leaders (ROLs) for
each of CIPs global regions: Latin America-Caribbean (LAC); Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA); South,
West and Central Asia (SWCA); and East and Southeastern Asia-Pacic (ESEAP). This group
will serve to help strengthen management processes, further cross-center coordination, and
ensure ecient program management, donor relations, and accountability.
Another important organizational change in 2011 included the renement of CIPs research
areas. New Regional Scientic Leader (RSL) positions were created for Potato or Sweetpotato in
each of CIPs global regions. The number of Global Scientic Leaders (GSLs) was also expanded
to reect the growing importance of cutting-edge work being conducted in CIPs global
programs. Along with providing scientic leadership and oversight, these leaders identify and
coordinate cross-cutting issues across regions or between geographic and global programs.
Finally, seven Research Support Units were identied, with a Manager for each and a Head to
oversee them all. Each unit has specic infrastructures, capital, instrumentation, facilities, and
talent needed to deliver research support services and create new business opportunities.
CIP maintained solid scal management in 2011, despite a year of nancial uncertainties due to
global economic conditions, and in a context of major system and funding structure changes.
The consortium of international agricultural research centers, known as the CGIAR, of
which CIP is a member, began implementation of fundamental reforms in 2011. These
included transformations in funding structures, organizational framework, and cross-center
collaborations. The approval and implementation process for 15 new cross-organizational
CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) was begun. CIP participates in seven of the CRPs. It leads the
CRP on Roots, Tubers, and Bananas, which was formally approved in November and is set to
begin implementation on January 1, 2012.
Like CIP, the CGIAR also celebrated a 40th anniversary in 2011. As we pass this auspicious
milestone together, we look forward to a promising future, built on the legacies of our shared
investments, and turned to meet the challenges of a changing world.
We are grateful to CIPs sta, partners, and donors for their dedication and support.
CIPs is a great mission. We look forward to advancing it together for decades to come.

istr of Kenya, in the southwestern
Rift Valley Province. Christine did not access
formal education, but thanks to a CIP-led training
course, she has pioneered the production of
seed potato in her district. Christine sold over
10.3 tons of seed potato in 2010, worth over
US$4,000, and she is expecting more than 80
tons of seed from her 4 acres for 2011.
This is an unusual role for a Maasai woman. By
tradition, the pastoralist Maasai are consummate
cattle-herders. I hope your cattle are well, is a
standard greeting.
But potatoes are taking on increased importance
in Transmara District, and in the region more
broadly, with rising demand. Yields remain low,
however, for many farmers who lack access
to quality seed or awareness of better seed
management practices.
In August 2009, Christine was selected to attend
a course on potato seed production held in
Nairobi and organized by CIP. The course focused
on the use of three-generation (3G) seed
multiplication strategy.
The 3G seed strategy is geared to producing
large numbers of minitubers, to be used as seed,
through very rapid multiplication. The point is to
yield sucient, high-quality potato seed more
quickly than through conventional methods in three eld generations, instead of the usual
seven required. The rapid multiplication means
production costs are lowered, and the risk of
pest or disease contamination is reduced.
Christine Nashuru (far left) is seen as a darling of the village and has trained
other Maasai women from her district on how to grow seed and ware potato.

potato crop reeled under devastating eects of bacterial wilt and late blight in 2011, his farm stands out as
center of excellence. With the earning from his potatoes, Amon has started a retail shop and a posho mill
(for grinding wheat or maize into our).
Christine and Amon are not alone. According to the district reports, there are approximately 60 trained
farmers working either individually or in groups who are now doing seed business in Kenya up from only
20 when the project began.

The private sector collaboration is key to
increasing capacity and broadening adoption

availability of improved varieties that are more
adapted to local conditions and demands.
With increased adoption of the 3G strategy and
better management techniques, average yields
have increased by 20% for more than 15,000
smallholder potato growers.
As for Christine, she has never looked back.

Not only is she driving better seed production
in her district, she is also training other farmers
in her region, mostly women, to produce
better seed and ware potatoes. As one of her
trainees notes, Christine is now a darling of

insu
ance for a changing world
A new agreement between CIP and the Global
Crop Diversity Trust is paving the way to support,
conserve, and make available sweetpotato
varieties today, and for the future.
The sweetpotato germplasm collection at CIP

comprises 7,777 accessions, including 4,615
landraces (native varieties), 1,984 breeding lines
(improved varieties), and 1,178 samples of wild
sweetpotato. They originate from Asia, Africa,
the Americas, and the Pacic Islands. It is the
largest and most diverse sweetpotato collection
in the world. The purpose of the collection is to
conserve living samples to ensure that genetic
resources are available now for use by farmers,
plant breeders, and researchers, and that they
are secure for the long term.
Sweetpotato is the potato of the tropics. It is a
tough crop, able to grow in high temperatures
and arid conditions with little demand for
either water or fertilizer. Sweet potato ranks
as the worlds seventh most important food
crop, principally because of its versatility and
adaptability.
The material preserved in CIPs genebank holds
great promise for the future. Sweetpotato
is thought to have much potential for yield
improvement, and the orange-eshed varieties
are a highly eective food for combating
rampant vitamin A deciency in Sub-Saharan
Africa and parts of Asia.
In 2007, sweetpotato experts from around the
world gathered at a CIP-organized workshop
in the Philippines to address the concern that
the precious biodiversity of sweetpotato could

be lost. There was clear agreement among
the participants of the need to regenerate
sweetpotato material, which was at risk of being
lost due to climate change, explains Genoveva
Rossel, sweetpotato curator for CIPs genebank.
The workshop led to an agreement, signed
in 2011, between CIP and the Global Crop
Diversity Trust to provide US$1 million over ve
years from the Trust to support the sweetpotato
collection in CIPs genebank.
One of the principle functions of a genebank is
to duplicate and maintain clonal collections to
secure their conservation and use. The genetic
diversity they hold is critical for developing
varieties that can adapt to dierent needs
and preferences of producers and consumers,
and to the shifting pressures and conditions
associated with climate change.
The sweetpotato accessions are conserved in
the genebank both as seeds and as in vitro
plantlets. Cryopreservation is also used to
preserve plant material indenitely. CIP is
collaborating with the Global Crop Diversity
Trust and researchers from six collaborating
countries to develop cryo-preservation
protocols, standardizing methodologies for longterm preservation of sweetpotato accessions.
Sweetpotato specialists are a very collaborative
group, here at CIP and globally, notes Rossel.
We work with colleagues across all parts of
CIP, whether its regarding the identication of
selected clones for improved varieties, analysis
of nutritional value and quality, genetic analysis,
or ensuring the distribution of clean material for
colleagues and institutions around the world.

Under high stress conditions, the yield of
these two potatoes has been about 8-times
higher than any of the 150 native potato
varieties grown in the district, explains Stef de

to the potatoes most feared disease, late blight, which is causing
more damage with each year.

the traditional native potatoes. In periods of
high late blight damage, the dierence is even
greater. The yields hold up for the improved
varieties but drop to only around 2 tons per
hectare for the traditional varieties.
The rst time that late blight began to wipe

Some of CIPs greatest impacts have been in

the Asia-Pacic region. Signicant economic
advances and gains in livelihood assets have
been measured though impact studies.
Examples range from the adoption of improved
potato varieties and better disease management
practices for sweetpotato in China to the use of
sweetpotato as animal feed in Indonesia and
Vietnam, among others.
The Asia-Pacic region has the highest
production, consumption, and utilization of root
and tuber crops in the world. Thus the potential
for even greater impacts is vast. But the value of
root and tuber crops remains underappreciated.
Roots and tubers face a negative image in
the region either as poor peoples food or as
unhealthy and fattening.

EDING BREEDING
to meet
meet urgent needs in Mozambiq
Mozambique
CIP is dramatically reducing the time it takes to
release new potato and sweetpotato varieties
with follow-up projects to ensure dissemination
and their availability to farmers.
Fifteen drought-tolerant orange-eshed

sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties and seven new
potato varieties were released in Mozambique
in 2011 thanks to exciting approaches designed
to radically shorten the time it takes to develop
improved varieties.
We want to revolutionize conventional
breeding, using accelerated breeding and other
advanced breeding methods, explains Robert
Mwanga, a CIP sweetpotato breeder based in
Uganda.
With sweetpotato, the goal is to get much
needed OFSP to farmers more quickly to help
combat widespread vitamin A deciency. CIP
scientists and partners are using a method
known as accelerated breeding to develop
varieties rich in beta-carotene (for vitamin
A) and suited to local needs, conditions, and
preferences. Accelerated breeding involves
rapid multiplication of new varieties using many
concurrent sites at early stages in the breeding
cycle. This compares to conventional methods
that use fewer sites over longer time periods,
explains Maria Andrade, a CIP sweetpotato
breeder based in Mozambique. The method is
cutting by half the time needed to develop new
varieties.
The achievements are part of a program
emphasis on breeding in Africa, for Africa. We
are investing in the development of diverse
sweetpotato types that will provide national

programs with a wide range of parents
that have the preferred combination of
characteristics to use in their own breeding
programs, says Mwanga.
The goal regarding potato is to lessen
Mozambiques costly dependence on imported
seed, at a time when consumer demand for
potato is rising. With timely availability of seed
for well-adapted varieties, we can enhance
the sustainability and economics of potato

Harahagazwe, a CIP seed system specialist
based in Malawi. In recent years, Mozambiques
government has been prioritizing food
security, including the adaptation of agricultural
regulations to fast track getting seeds to the eld.
We want to revolutionize conventional breeding, using accelerated

breeding and other advanced
breeding methods.
CIP also works with partners to help ensure
that new varieties actually reach smallholder
farmers and enter into production, market, and
consumption systems where their potential
impacts on peoples lives can be realized.
The release of multiple new varieties at once
not only helps end users, it also benets
researchers. Usually, only one new variety
is released at a time, explains Merideth
Bonierbale, who leads CIPs global breeding
program, so there is little possibility to
understand why one variety spreads quickly
notes Bonierbale, we can collect and compare

information on aspects such as farmers and
consumers choices, other factors that can
determine varietal success, and the costs and
benets of production.

while another does not. New varieties are all

subject to the same institutional procedures
and made available simultaneously to farmers
and end-users. We now have interesting
opportunities to study uptake pathways,

A MAJOR BOOST FOR BIOFORTIFICATION:
new use of NIRS technology revolutionizing

food fortication eorts
A key tool pioneered and applied at CIP saves
time and money in the hunt for vitamin- or
mineral-rich crop samples.
Near-Infrared Reectance Spectroscopy may

sound like a mouthful, but it represents a very
useful and low-cost method for estimating
concentrations of nutritional components
in crops. Known as NIRS, it is now being
used in a new way in CIPs Quality and
Nutrition Laboratory (QNLAB) that is radically
strengthening the biofortication program
and its potential impacts on combatting
malnutrition and its devastating consequences.
Biofortication uses breeding to increase levels
of nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A,
which occur naturally in staple food crops.
It is an eective and sustainable means for
addressing nutrient deciencies and improving
health outcomes, particularly for malnourished
populations in remote areas.
NIRS was traditionally used to analyze
macronutrients such as protein, starch, and fat,
explains Thomas zum Felde, a CIP scientist who
pioneered the adaptation of NIRS technology
for evaluating critical micronutrients, such as
iron, zinc, and pro-vitamin A carotenoids. The
work is central to CIPs biofortication research
eorts, such as those aimed at boosting iron
values in potato to address chronic anemia
in the Andes and for combating vitamin A
deciency in Africa and Asia with orangeeshed sweetpotato varieties, among others.
Large numbers of samples must be analyzed
to identify those with naturally high nutrient
values that can be used for biofortication
breeding programs. NIRS provides a fast and

low cost solution.
With NIRS, CIP scientists can analyze
pro-vitamin A carotenoids, iron, zinc, protein,
starch, glucose, fructose, and sucrose in potato
and sweetpotato in less than two minutes for
a cost of only US$5. In comparison, chemical
analysis of pro-vitamin A carotenoids using
High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) takes one hour at a cost of US$45 per
sample. Similarly, chemical analysis of mineral
content with Inductively Coupled Plasma
spectrometry (ICP) requires 20 minutes and
costs US$12 per sample.
Imagine the cost and time savings for
analyzing up to 40,000 samples annually that
breeding programs at CIP require, points out
Zum Felde.
Preparing samples for NIRS is also much
simpler than for chemical analysis, and it does
not require the use of chemical solvents. In
the last four years, CIPs Quality and Nutrition
Lab has evaluated more than 130,000
sweetpotato samples and over 6,000 potato
samples for breeding programs. The Lab has
also collaborated with HarvestPlus under the
umbrella of a NIRS feasibility study to evaluate
nutrients in crops such as maize, wheat, rice,
cassava, millet, and beans from other CGIAR
centers (CIAT, CIMMYT, ICRISAT, IITA, and IRRI).
Based in Lima, the Quality and Nutrition Lab
(QNLAB) is expanding its reach to create a
global NIRS network. In 2011, that network
began to facilitate the analysis of sweetpotato
samples in SubSaharan Africa, including
Uganda, Mozambique, and Ghana. Plans are to
expand the network to Rwanda and China.

generated innovations and unleashed the
potential of native potato for increasing and
diversifying incomes for small-scale Andean
farmers.
Selling native potatoes to the industry has
changed our lives says Victoriano Meza, a farmer
from Perus central Andes. It has meant additional
income to build a house for his family and equip
it with satellite internet so that my children can
learn quickly and get a better future. Mr. Meza is
one of thousands of small-scale Andean farmers
benetting from a new boom in the market for
native potatoes, and from pro-poor innovations
to link them to the native potato market chain,
spearheaded by CIPs Papa Andina program.
Papa Andina is a CIP partnership program,
which works in collaboration with research
organizations, public partners, the private sector,
and NGOs. For over 10 years it has functioned
as an innovation broker in the Andean potato
sectors of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador.
Product innovations from Papa Andina have
opened new market niches and brought higher
prices for farmers. Examples include awardwinning Tikapapa (bagged native potatoes),
packaged traditional dehydrated chuo,
and native potato chips originally pioneered
through Papa Andinas Participatory Market
Chain Approach (PMCA) and taken up by large,
multi-national companies. By promoting the
integration of corporate social responsibility,
Papa Andina has helped ensure that the benets
of corporate involvement reach small farmers
and are socially and environmentally sustainable.
Other Papa Andina results include new public

policies and practices to invest in the sector,
regulate product quality, and raise the prole
of native potatoes as a high-value product and
cultural asset. For example, the establishment
of an annual national potato day in Peru has
elevated the native potato from poor mans
food to a point of national pride. Technological
innovations spearheaded by Papa Andina
range from improved seed systems for native
potatoes to the application of integrated crop
management techniques and improved postharvest management using simple processing
equipment.
The impacts of its projects and methods have
benetted small-scale farmers and their families
directly. In Bolivia, new potato products sold to
supermarkets have enabled farmers to receive
3040 percent higher prices than in traditional
markets. The innovation network in Ecuador
(Plataforma) has enabled farmers to raise yields
by 33 percent, improving input:output ratios
by 20 percent, resulting in a fourfold increase in
gross margins per hectare.

Product innovations, such as this packaged chuo, have

come from Papa Andinas participatory methods linking
small-scale producers to high value market chains.
J. L. GONTERRE
Selling native potatoes to industry is changing lives and creating new opportunities for smallholder Andean farmers, and their families.
With more than 700,000 farming families

working in the Andean potato sector, the
indirect impacts are likely to be far greater, not
only regarding incomes but also in terms of
cultural, social, and personal assets. As notes
farmer Nolberta Inostroza, Now I produce and
sell with less work, earn more, and take pride in
sharing the native potatoes that I take care of, as
my ancestors did before me.
Now I produce and sell with less

work, earn more, and take pride in
sharing the native potatoes that
I take care of, as my ancestors did
before me.
Added to these are further collateral benets
to farming communities and parallel sectors
stemming from the boom in demand. In fact,
demand is so strong that in spite of increasing
supplies, prices for fresh and processed native
potato products continue to rise.
Designed for the Andean context, the Papa

Andina tools and methods also have been
applied successfully elsewhere. For example,
the Participatory Market Chain Approach has
been adapted to train and connect farmers to
sweetpotato or potato market chains in Africa
and Asia, and to vegetable, milk, and coee
value chains in Latin America.
The legacies of Papa Andina are particularly
important as it faces its next decades. June
2011 marked the close out of the original Papa
Andina Program, with a new iteration beginning
in a broader context of food security across the
Andean highlands. Its reach is expanding to
include Colombia and Venezuela, along with the
original targets of Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
Andr Devaux, who has led Papa Andina,
concludes: Papa Andina has become a
working model, even a philosophy, which will
live on beyond the program itself. The model
has created a horizontal space for eective
interactions among diverse partners to better
articulate research and development and to
better address needs and improve livelihoods for
small producers.

Ida Rosida of West Java,

farmer business school training

her meager household income.
She is now a full-time potato

orientation to smallholder producers can spur

innovation and create greater linkages to value
market chains.
For farmers to link with markets, they need to
learn not only to produce, but to produce for
the market, says Dindo Campilan, CIPs Regional
Leader for South West and Central Asia, who has
helped introduce Farmer Business Schools in his
region.
Campilans insights are based on work
conducted by CIP to introduce innovations for
improving on-farm productivity, postharvest
value addition, and market development. The
Farmer Business School approach, being piloted
in Indonesia, takes marketing as a starting point
for determining what, how, and for whom to
produce. It combines methodological elements
of the Participatory Market Chain Approach
developed by CIPs Papa Andina Program to
increase innovation and market access for native
potato farmers in the Andes with farmer eld
school and business learning approaches.
Farmer business schools provide a group-based

and participatory learning environment for
smallholder farmers to foment marketing ideas,
conduct small-scale experiments for improving
crop quality and production, and pick up business
skills. They learn to develop a business plan, use
market analysis tools, and meet with market chain
stakeholders such as industry representatives.
Participants also pick up knowledge and
strategies for handling supply chain issues.
Another benet of the Farmer Business School
model is that it serves to support farming
communities in using local resources such as
crop genetic diversity and traditional know-how
for selling products to elite urban consumers and
supermarkets.
Business skills of negotiation and strategy play a
key role, too. Successful farm business requires
the capacity not only for technological change
but also for nurturing relationships among
market chain actors based on trust, collaboration,
and coordination.

teaming up with Sammy Agili, a CIP sweetpotato
breeder and other public and private partners
in East Africa. Their goal: to better exploit
sweetpotatos potential as a healthy and easily
available livestock feed.
Two decades ago, CIP conducted similar research
testing varieties of livestock forage using
sweetpotato in countries such as Vietnam and
China. Results showed that mixtures based on
easily available resources were a clear formula
for success: The pigs are growing faster, their
skins are shinier and best of all, it takes a lot less
time to prepare feed for them, was a comment
from farmer Ta Van Hien in Pho Yen Province
in 1999. More recently, a CIP project in PapuaIndonesia using sweetpotato-based formulas
as pig feed showed positive impacts on farmers
incomes and on other livelihood indicators, such
as human capital, social cohesion, and physical
structures.
We are drawing on CIPs many years of
experience in Asia, where they successfully use
sweetpotato in livestock systems, says Lukuyu.

TThe project is part of CIPs Sweetpotato
Action for Security and Health in Africa
(SASHA) initiative, which aims to reposition
sweetpotato in food economies of SSA to
alleviate poverty and undernutrition.
Currently, smallholder livestock and dairy
producers in East Africa face increasing
feed costs and challenges. High population
pressures have increased the competition
for grains as food or livestock feed. Major
shortages occur during the dry season, and
quality feed concentrates demand a price

used in Kenya as a primary feed for dairy
farming, requires signicant allocations of
land and is currently suering from a major
outbreak of a disease called head smut and

Increased use and production of
sweetpotato may provide a solution.
Sweetpotato vines oer more protein and
dry matter per unit area and require less
land than other staple livestock feeds.
Sweetpotato roots that are too small for
human consumption or sale also make good
feed.
CIP and EADD are working directly with
pig and dairy farmers in Kenya, Rwanda,
and Uganda. They are guiding adaptive
participatory research to test the feasibility
and business case for using sweetpotato
vines as silage and leaf protein supplements.

ONE SYSTEM, MANY GAINS
from a common CGIAR corporate

platform
One Corporate System represents a whole new
level of collective action and transformative
change that will vastly increase collaboration,
information sharing, and eciencies across the
CGIAR Centers and Research Programs.
CIP is joining eight other CGIAR Centers

and the Consortium Oce to integrate their
diverse project, nancial, and human resource
management systems into a common corporate
platform, known as One Corporate System
(OCS). The move is expected to create an
automated and interconnected system that will
boost eciencies, support greater cross-Center
coordination, and result in better investments of
donor funding.
OCS is a Center-driven initiative. CIP was an
early proponent of the project, recognizing
the economic and organizational gains to be
derived from adopting a joint system. Current
calculations suggest that each participating
Center is saving approximately US$500,000
by implementing a common platform
and purchasing a system jointly instead of
individually. And there are signicant annual
savings in equipment and maintenance costs
associated with using a commonly hosted
infrastructure.
Research and administrative teams from
numerous Centers have invested considerable
time and eort over several years to identify
needs, align terminology, and analyze processes
and requirements in preparation for the new
system. In 2011, they devoted weeks to faceto-face workshops and reviews, along with
multiple conference calls and remote meetings
to compare processes, test proposals and

prototypes, and prepare for implementation.
OCS is already recognized as a model of CGIAR
collaboration. But it is also unconventional
and complex, notes Carlos Alonso, CIPs
Executive Director for Strategy and Corporate
Development, who has been spearheading the
project for CIP and coordinating much of the
collaboration with other Centers.
Culling through the details of the system
prototypes and design specications has
required enormous commitment, patience, and
compromise from all the parties involved. The
process has not been without its frustrations.
OCS involves 10 institutions scattered around
the world, with 10 dierent corporate cultures,
diverse cultural backgrounds, and locations
across many time zones, notes Alonso. But
what makes this eort unique is that we are allll
inspired by a shared vision of doing things better
and a common purpose to make OCS a success,
he concludes.

TAPPING STAKEHOLDER SYNERGIES:

Program on Roots, Tubers, and Bananas
Incorporating stakeholder perspectives was a
critical part of the process of building a proactive

Roots, Tubers

The CRPs are broad initiatives involving multiple
CGIAR Centers and many partners. They are
designed to advance the research objectives of
the CGIAR system aimed at reducing poverty
and hunger, improving health and nutrition, and
enhancing ecosystem resilience. The CRPs reect
an ethos that emphasizes proactive consultation
with stakeholders for program design and
implementation.
Putting that principle into practice is
described in a new publication, co-authored
by collaborators from each of the four CGIAR
CIAT N. PALMER
dialogue among 255 stakeholders, across three

continents, in less than two months, when the
goal is to design a new global program aimed
at maximizing impacts? This was the challenge
put to a team of collaborators from multiple
organizations, which developed the CGIAR
Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and
Bananas for Food Security and Income. Their
discovery: while not an ideal scenario, the
pressures of a tight schedule, coupled with good
will and new synergies, can sometimes lead to
creative, successful outputs.

PROGRAM ON
The new program reects an ethos that emphasizes proactive consultation with stakeholders for program design and
implementation.
Incorporating stakeholder perspectives in

international agricultural research: the case of the
CGIAR Research Program for Roots, Tubers and
Bananas for Food Security and Income provides an
instructive case-study of successful stakeholder
consultation. It describes the process used to
engage stakeholders and incorporate their
feedback into program design, with lessons learned
and experiences that can serve others looking to
replicate, adapt, or build upon this example.
This document not only oers insights on how
stakeholder consultation can eectively ag
important priorities in the project design phase,
but also what methods worked best in achieving
quality interaction, says Graham Thiele, leader
of CIPs Social and Health Sciences Division, who
formed part of the intercenter group leading the
design of the program proposal.
One interesting nding of the case-study regards
the eectiveness of dierent methods for
gathering stakeholder input. To be as inclusive
as possible with limited time and money,
stakeholder input was gathered via regional
workshops, on-line surveys, and one-on-one
interviews, for a total of over 200 participants.
Among those methods, the on-line surveys
proved to be surprisingly agile and eective for
gathering and integrating responses in real time,
including new ideas. They garnered feedback
from 150 respondents, with detailed responses
which were in many cases quite novel, thoughtful,
and highly useful for the program proposal.

bananas are not usually well positioned within

agricultural extension, as decision makers
do not have a full appreciation of their true
importance. Quality data on true level of
production, perhaps through remote-sensing
methodologies, is an essential starting point.
Input from stakeholders served to rearm
the importance of core components of the
program, and also shed further light on
cross-cutting issues, such as gender, climate
change, knowledge sharing, and capacity
strengthening.
The perspectives of dierent stakeholders
raised our ability to reect a more

more grounded, and ultimately more likely
to achieve objectives that will result in real
development impacts, explains Vincent
Johnson of Bioversity, who led the consultation
taskforce. Without this perspective, we could
never have delivered a convincing program
proposal within the deadline, he concludes.

FINANCIAL REPORT
The International Potato Centers total revenues reached

US$33.8M in 2011, 2% below those of 2010. They
included US$9.2M of unrestricted contributions, US$24M
of restricted donations and US$0.6M of other revenues,
consisting of interests earned on investments and
exchange rate gains.
Unrestricted contributions decreased by USD$2.2M in

2011 from USD$11.4M to USD$9.2M as a result of the
transition from unrestricted contributions to the new
CGIAR Research Programs, which are considered restricted
contributions. Restricted contributions increased by
USD$1.6M from USD$22.4M to USD$24M.
During 2011, 41 new restricted proposals were submitted
to donors, for a total of US$30.5M. In this same period, 36
proposals were approved, for a total value of US$22.1M.

CIP achieved a USD$ 0.07M surplus in 2011. The Centers

reserves, measured as net assets minus net fixed assets
were USD$8.1M, a slight decrease with respect to 2010
due to the utilization of USD$0.6M in designated Net
Assets for the implementation of a new Enterprise
Resource Planning system.

Unrestricted expenditures decreased by 10% from

US$10.8M to US$9.7M. CIPs indirect cost ratio reached
20.6%. In 2010, the Center finished the revision of its
cost structure and cost allocation methods in line with
full costing principles in FG5. The 2009 indirect rate was
revised for comparison.
The liquidity indicator (measured as net working capital
plus long-term investments divided by the daily average
expenditures excluding depreciation) decreased from 120
days in 2010 to 113 days in 2011. The financial stability
indicator (calculated as the unrestricted net assets minus
net fixed assets, divided by the daily average expenditures
excluding depreciation) decreased from 100 days to 92
days in 2011. Both indicators are within the acceptable
ranges of the CGIAR.
