All SIs include capacity building to empower a new generation of women and men scientists in the range of topics covered. With a targeted annual budget rising to USD 97.8 million―to which the CGIAR currently contributes approximately 19% of the funding through unrestricted support, and bilateral CGIAR and non‐CGIAR donors contribute approximately 53% of the funding through over 100 individually designed projects― MAIZE will increase the productivity of the target groups by 7% by 2020 and 33% by 2030, adding an annual value of USD 2.0 billion by 2020 and 8.8 billion by 2030. It will reach 40 million smallholder farm family members by 2020 and 175 million by 2030, and provide enough maize to meet the annual food demand of an additional 135 million consumers by 2020 and 600 million by 2030. MAIZE will be implemented by the same community of traditional and newer partners who developed the strategy, that is: The principal research partners: lead center CIMMYT and IITA. CIAT, ICRISAT, IFPRI, ILRI, IRRI, and the World Agroforestry Centre. 130 national agricultural research institutes. 18 regional and international organizations. 21 advanced agricultural research institutes. 75 universities in developing and developed countries. 46 private sector organizations. 42 non‐government organizations and farmer associations. 11 country governments that host MAIZE offices. As the strategy is implemented, other principal research partners will join in managing MAIZE, from among those who contribute most in research staff and skills, infrastructure and financial resources, and whose goals are aligned with those of MAIZE. MAIZE outputs and work of co‐funded and cooperative endeavors will contribute to and benefit from other CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs). These are CRPs 1.1 and 1.2 (Integrated agricultural systems for the poor and vulnerable ‐ dry areas and humid tropics); CRP 2 (Policies, institutions and markets for enabling agricultural incomes for the poor); GRiSP (The global rice science partnership – a part of CRP 3); CRP 4 (Agriculture and improved nutrition for health); CRP 5 (Durable solutions for water scarcity and land degradation); and, especially, CRP 7 (Climate change agriculture and food security). Humanity faces tremendous challenges to food security and environmental degradation that will worsen if no measures are taken. Given the time needed to create the improvements described, we must act now so that poverty and hunger can be reduced, human health and nutrition improved, and better care taken of resources to support future generations. viii
A major maize initiative The recent food crisis—combined with the global financial crisis, volatile energy prices, natural resource depletion, and emerging climate‐change issues—undercuts and threatens the livelihoods of millions of poor people and destabilizes the economic, ecological, and political situation in many developing countries. Progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (such as halving hunger and poverty by 2015) has been delayed significantly; in fact, as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports, the number of undernourished people actually increased in the past two years (von Braun et al., 2010). MAIZE is part of a concerted effort of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) to implement a new results‐oriented strategy through a set of CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) that fully exploit the potential of international agricultural research for development to enhance global food security, reduce poverty, and sustain the environment. Building on the input, strength and collaboration with over 300 partners, MAIZE will combine the strength of farming communities, international and local public and private sector partners, policy makers, and development organizations—to ensure that the CGIAR’s maize‐research related contribution effectively contributes to the following Vision of Success: 1. Increasing demands for food are met, and food prices are stabilized at levels that are affordable for poor consumers. 2. Farming systems are more sustainable and resilient, despite the impacts of climate, and their dependence on irrigation and increasingly expensive fertilizers is reduced. 3. Increased production in developing countries is achieved mainly through higher yields, thus lessening pressure on forests, hill slopes, and other crops. 4. Poverty and malnutrition are reduced, especially among women and children, and a greater proportion of women and young adults are able to engage in profitable and environmentallyfriendly farming. 5. Developing countries are able to compete more vigorously in export markets and ensure benefits for a wide range of actors in the value chain of major food crops. 6. Disadvantaged farmers and countries gain better access to cutting‐edge proprietary technologies through innovative partnerships, in particular with advanced research institutes and the private sector. 7. A new generation of scientists and other professionals is guiding national agricultural research across the developing world and working in partnership with the CGIAR, the private sector, policy makers and other stakeholders to enhance efficiency and impact. Together with rice and wheat, maize provides at least 30% of the food calories to more than 4.5 billion people in 94 developing countries (von Braun et al. 2010). The combined challenges of increasing demand, continuing poverty and malnutrition, natural resource depletion and climate change will require the world to double the productivity and significantly increase incomes and livelihood opportunities from more productive, resilient and sustainable maize‐based farming systems—employing 1
