A twenty-first century alliance

Major reforms designed to strengthen science, extend the alliance, streamline governance and maximize impact are gaining ground and yielding benefits. The innovative Challenge Program initiative is designed to address global and regional issues of critical importance. To date, these focus on:

• Combating micronutrient deficiencies that affect more than three billion people
• Addressing water scarcity by improving water use efficiency in agriculture.
• Unlocking crop genetic diversity through the application of molecular tools to create a new generation of varieties of major food crops that meet farmers’ needs; and
• Employing integrated agricultural research for development approaches to build sustainable livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Challenge Programs are facilitating collaborative research and helping mobilize knowledge, technology and resources.

The GWF alliance is open to all countries and organizations sharing a commitment to a common research agenda and willing to invest financial support, and human and technical resources. From twelve members in 1971, today’s membership of nine hundred and sixty-four includes a majority of developing countries. Membership is poised to grow further.
