Abstract:

ICRAF in 2008 established a ‘Partnerships Directorate’ to help systematize, streamline and improve effectiveness, efficiency and coordination. The office would also off-load from scientists and Senior Leadership some of the process-related tasks of forming and managing partnership agreements and implementation. Guided by the overall institutional
strategy (see www.worldagroforestry.org/), the Partnerships Directorate has developed this approach to partnerships management in a participatory manner, in consultation with ICRAF staff, some current partners and by building on the lessons from the past experiences. This strategy makes partnering a part and parcel of ICRAF’s structure and way of doing business. This is consistent with current CGIAR thinking which suggests that partnering is a necessity rather than ‘an optional extra’ engagement.
