Report on the Examination of the CGIAR Secretariat

Report of an ad hoc committee, chaired by Bob Herdt, appointed by the Chairman of the CGIAR to review the work of the CGIAR Secretariat. The committee made 12 recommendations and 21 suggestions, some of which extended beyond its mandate. For example it suggested creation of a Policy Council, continued appointment of the CGIAR Chairman from among the vice presidents of the World Bank, and the merger of the TAC and CGIAR secretariats. It also recommended a system for identifying qualified candidates for center boards, TAC, and external reviews.Agenda document at CGIAR International Centers Week, October-November 1988.
