 <title>News from the ILAC Initiative - February 2011</title>
 <link>http://www.cgiar-ilac.org/content/news-ilac-initiative-february-2011</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Comic Sans MS;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;News from the ILAC Initiative:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;margin-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Tahoma;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;ILAC’s New Mission&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the recent changes in the CGIAR, ILAC adapted its mission and strategy to better contribute to the change process. The ILAC initiative continues to foster learning from experience and use of the lessons learned to improve the design and implementation of agricultural research and development programs; however, our future work will emphasize helping the CGIAR Consortium Office and the Centers to develop new ways of partnership and research models, and by creating a space for reflection on the future of the CGIAR.&lt;br /&gt;
ILAC’s strategy detailing the actions to be implemented to reach these goals has been recently published and can be found in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cgiar-ilac.org/files/ideas_for_change_ilac_17feb.pdf&quot; title=&quot;http://www.cgiar-ilac.org/files/ideas_for_change_ilac_17feb.pdf&quot;&gt;http://www.cgiar-ilac.org/files/ideas_for_change_ilac_17feb.pdf&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cgiar-ilac.org/content/news-ilac-initiative-february-2011&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
