DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS The International Potato Center is grateful for the generous support of all its donors, particularly those who contribute with unrestricted donations. The funding received enables CIP to carry out high quality research and training designed to contribute to reducing poverty and achieving food security on a sustained basis in the poorest countries of the world. CIP’s revenues in 2002 were lower than in 2001, which shows a continuing general trend of decreasing funding to agricultural research. CIP is actively seeking new partners and additional sources of funding to maintain operations at a sustainable and stable level. This will enable us to make a solid contribution in the years to come to our goal: food security, healthy environments, and less poverty through research, training, information, and technical assistance on potato, sweetpotato, Andean root and tuber crops, natural resources, and mountain ecologies.
