The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) is an
international autonomous, non-profit, research organization supported by the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
ICARDA’s
mission is to reduce poverty, enhance food, water and nutritional security, as
well as environmental health in the face of global challenges including climate
change. We do this through innovative science, strategic partnerships, linking
research to development and capacity development that take into account gender
equality and the role of youth in transforming the dry areas. ICARDA works in
partnership with governments, universities, civil society, national
agricultural research organization, other CGIAR research Centers, and the
private sector.
With its temporary Headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, ICARDA
operates in regional and country offices across Africa, Asia and the Middle
East. For more information: www.icarda.org
