Staff
In 2003, CIP made a substantial effort to strengthen scientific capacity. This was accomplished by hiring experienced international scientists for key positions, as well as young international scientists through Junior Professional or Associate Professional Programs. New staff also joined the Center through specially funded projects. At the same time, as a result of the recently completed visioning and program realignment, several changes in staff responsibilities were made in 2003. The research program now comprises Research Divisions and Partnership Programs.
CIP’s staff is a diverse group of highly qualified individuals with varied backgrounds and nationalities. This diversity is integrated into a coordinated effort to achieve a common goal: alleviate poverty and increase food security while protecting the earth’s natural resource base. Each and every one of CIP’s more than 400 employees worldwide—from scientists to clerical staff to field workers—contributes to this mission through their various functions, and each is an essential part of CIP’s working team. Because of space, we are not able to list all names in this Annual Report; nevertheless, we do recognize and greatly appreciate the efforts of all our staff.
