Total revenue in 2023 amounted to USD 49.9 million, against a total expenditure of USD 49.2 million, resulting in a surplus of USD 0.7 million. On December 31, 2023, CIP reserves were USD 13.2 million (equal to 86 days of expenditure-within GIAR norms), compared to USD 12.5 million (84 days) on December 31, 2022. The indirect cost ratio of the Center was 16% for 2023, slightly lower than the expected 17% at the start of 2023. The ratio is calculated in line with the CGIAR Cost Principles and Indirect Cost Guidelines (issued in April 2019) and expresses the relationship between direct and indirect costs.

CIP’s financial indicators reflect the Center’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial health. The Board remains confident that, based on sound financial and programmatic management, the institution is well-positioned to fulfill its mission. However, no institution is immune to financial or operational risks. In 2023, CIP positioned itself well to deal with important country level risk assessments and mitigations, which included resolution of a longstanding case of risk deferred in India. To mitigate risks, the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee oversees CIP’s risk management policies and plans. More broadly, the Board routinely supervises Center operations in the interest of funders and stakeholders.

As a CGIAR research center, much of CIP’s research is conducted through CGIAR Research Programs. Funding for those programs, and for bilateral projects, comes from public and private organizations, governments and foundations across the globe. The Center also receives generous in-kind support from national partners and international collaborators.

CIP gratefully acknowledges the countries, organizations, partners and individuals that supported its agricultural research for development in 2019. CIP also thanks all the funders that globally support its work through their contributions to the CGIAR system. Without their intellectual and financial support, CIP could not have made the contributions to better lives reported here.
