The success
of ICARDA's research and training activities largely depends on its
active partnerships with national programs. Besides a large number of
joint activities with other CGIAR centers and advanced research institutes
throughout the world, the Center has consolidated its outreach activities
into seven regional programs, five in WANA, one in Central Asia and
the Caucasus and one in Latin America. These programs act as a mechanism
for resource-use effectiveness, eliminating duplication |

| importantly,
for providing a research continuum and a long-term vision of the impact
of ICARDA's work. These seven regional programs link scientists both within countries and within the region, promote leadership at the national and regional levels, foster cooperation in solving problems common to a group of countries, capitalize on complementarity between countries, promote transfer of technology, and encourage self-reliance in research and development. They also help in identifying particular expertise in NARS to decentralize ICARDA's research and training activities. Where appropriate, they play a catalytic role in attracting donor funding for national programs and establishing linkages with advanced research institutes. |
