International Agricultural Research Centres

The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is an association of public and private members that support and fund a number of International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs), that carry out research to reduce hunger and poverty.

The Australian Government contributes funds to the IARCs, through ACIAR.  This takes the form of both core funding and project funding.
