Australia's partnership involves the provision of core funding of AUD250,000 (in 2005-06), as well as funding allocated to specific projects. CIP works to reduce poverty and achieve food security on a sustainable basis in developing countries where potato, sweet potato and other root and tuber crops are grown.
