OVERHEAD RATE
The ratio of indirect cost to direct cost as an indicator of our operational efficiency remained stable at 15%. The ratio has been calculated following the CGIAR Financial Guidelines No. 5.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL STABILITY
The long-term financial stability indicator, which measures the number of days of unrestricted net assets that can be used to cover CIP’s forward planned operations, is 86 days (within the CGIAR recommended norms). CIP’s overall financial position continues to be sound and the Center did not need to use any credit facility during the year.
