GCARD2. Breakout session C1.1 Public Investments – Speaker Brief - CGIAR Fund investment trends

As a key aspect of the CGIAR reform, the CGIAR’s multi-donor trust fund was formed to pool and harmonize donor funding to support research priorities. By focusing on impact and results, the Fund aims to attract larger contributions from more diverse sources and improve the quality of funding by making it more predictable and secure, ensuring research continuity, ever greater efficiency, and better returns to investments, creating a virtuous cycle.
