CIDA is one of the CGIAR’s longest-standing donors. CIDA Senior Analyst Catherine Coleman explains why she is now more encouraged about a continuing relationship:
Although we indicated we were not sure about contributing to the Fund, this wasn’t based on scepticism about the reform process, but rather on a lack of information on how this would be implemented. I am now getting a better idea of how it will work and I’m encouraged by the depth of thinking that has taken place.
Looking ahead, there is a lot of work still to do. The Executive Committee will be important in checking donor signals with other parts of the system and in ensuring the different work streams are working together. There are many relationships between the different frameworks and these have yet to be defined. As an analogy, this means paying just as much attention to the arrows between the boxes as to the boxes themselves.
