Priority setting within the CGIAR occurs at several levels. The Group identifies the System's overarching goals. The governance and management of the CGIAR Centres decide on the specific research programmes, usually with a strong input from the relevant NARS in their constituencies. TAC advises on priorities and resource allocations across the System's major activities. To date, the NARS have contributed to agenda-setting at all three levels. TAC welcomes a broader dialogue with NARS on priority setting in the context of the consultations currently underway in the System.
