2012 CRP Financing Plan Overview: Key Insights and Implementation Strategies

This document outlines the 2012 Financing Plan for the CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), emphasizing the operational readiness of all 15 CRPs. It includes details on funding requirements, which total $809 million, and a focus on program-based financial strategies rather than institutional dimensions. Key challenges encountered in FP development, including staggered CRP timelines and budget disparities, are discussed. The approach for allocating Window 1-2 funds is also detailed, aiming for equitable distribution and strategic decision-making to support CRP goals moving forward.

  1. 2012 CRP Financing Plan Consortium Office, March 2012

  2. 2012 highlight: full program implementation of the CGIAR reform • All 15 CRP’s will be operational • Financing Plan (FP) is based exclusively on programs, not the institutional dimension • FP does not include funds for genebanks or system costs – both to be financed separately • No assumption for 2011-style stability financing BOTTOM LINE 2012 CRP approved financial requirement is $809 million, of which $400 million is from W1-2

  3. Challenges encountered in FP development • Staggered CRP timetable in 2011 meant that until now the CGIAR has been operating two business models in parallel. The “crosswalk” to full implementation requires careful balancing • The approved CRP budget portfolio is in excess of projected 2012 funding • For “early starters” – CRP’s that are underway – approved year 2 budget W1-2 allocations show highly ambitious growth rates, requiring decisions on reducing expectations going forward • Reality check:because CRP development was staggered, some lead centers presented (and had approved) proportionately larger W1-2 budgets than others = uneven “level playing field”

  4. The Outlook: Window 1-2 Funds

  5. Building an allocation model How we established a window 1-2 distribution plan for 2012

  6. Approach adopted to establish a plan for 2012 • Starting point: calculated availability is $290 million for CRP from windows 1-2 in 2012. • Build an allocation model using “formulaic adjustments” as much as possible, to arrive at a final proposal • Cannot avoid the need for some strategic decisions so criteria must be robust and transparent • The outcome is for 2012 only, and the approach is not expected to be the basis for future allocations • A “CRP harmonization process” will lead to a better basis for allocation in 2013 and beyond

  7. Methodology / Criteria • Search for equity within approved and anticipated approvals for CRP’s – historical reality of budget-building • Employ formulaic adjustments using similar metrics (inclusion of management costs, partner shares, etc.) in CRP’s • Establish a minimum level for all CRP’s based on available resources as currently estimated (72%) • For GRiSP and CCAFS, maintain year 2 allocation at year 1 level, as both were approved at a growth level back in 2010
