The GCARD 2010 Road Map
Transforming Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) Systems
for Global Impact
• Average agricultural research investments as a percentage of agricultural
GDP in developing countries are 0.58%, compared with 2.4% in
developed economies.
• The CGIAR estimates that to deliver developmental outcomes on the
scale required to meet the major challenges that lie ahead and in view
of the enormous investment backlog already caused by the underfunding of the past two decades, it will be necessary to triple the global
scale of investment in AR4D over the next 15 years.

AR4D system of the CAC focuses joint efforts on
three main goals of agricultural research:
1. Improving welfare of rural population, particularly
vulnerable groups of population, as well as those
dependent on agriculture.
2. Guaranteed improvement of the quality, volume and
nutritional status of food through the intensification and
diversification of agriculture to protect vulnerable and low
income groups.
3. Rational use of natural resources and mitigating adverse
effects of climate change.
CAC Regional Strategy of transforming and
strengthening AR4D stipulates to increase
investments
in agricultural research and
:
innovation:
In the CAC an increase of investments in AR4D of gross
agricultural output is supposed to be up to
 1% by 2015, by 2025
 2% by 2020,
 3% by 2025.
As result of discussion of the Brainstorm meeting
“Transforming National agricultural systems and
innovations” be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on 29
November - 03 December 2011, the total investments
average in CAC region should not be less 1% by 2025.

Donors’ aid coordination
Despite the positive impact of donors’ aid, its effect could be
much higher given ensured by coordination of activities.
Creating mechanism for coordination and coherence among
donors would greatly increase expected outcomes, bridging
between segments of agriculture.
