The Genebanks Initiative forms part of CGIAR’s new Research Portfolio, delivering science and innovation to tranform food, land and water systems in a climate crisis.
Oversight of the Genebank Initiative is provided by the CGIAR System Organisation with guidance from a management team.
However, the day-to-day implementation of the Platform’s activities is performed by the individual managers of CGIAR genebanks and germplasm health units and by CGIAR policy experts.
The Initiative lead is Charlotte Lusty.
