Report of the Sixth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) of the International Potato Center (CIP) - CGIAR

During the last five years CIP has undergone a series of important changes that have affected significantly the life of the Centre. Soon after the 2002 EPMR, the Centre committed itself to produce the necessary changes to adapt to “corresponding changes” in its external environment. The high positive correlation between potato/sweet potato production areas and poverty assures CIP that by concentrating its research work on these two commodities, significant economic, employment, health and other beneficial impacts on the poor can be realized. Indeed, a recent exante impact assessment study conducted by CIP shows that the Center’s research agenda offers significant opportunities to contribute to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) over the coming decades. It has been quite evident to the Panel that CIP has a clear and relevant future down the road.
