The CIAT Board of Trustees commissioned a governance and management review of the CGIAR research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). The review had been included in the original program plan for CCAFS and was timed to provide an early but informative assessment of governance and management as these occur within a CRP and in relationship to the center that serves as the fiduciary for the program. The review took place between January 1 and May 30, 2013
