CGIAR Future Harvest

Aceh News

Back

Dear CGIAR Partners and Colleagues Nine months after the disastrous Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami of 26 December 2004, the Future Harvest Centers of the CGIAR are pleased to report that their combined efforts with partners, including governments, in the region and support of donors from around the world are solidly contributing to the rehabilitation of the lives of the survivors in the hardest hit areas. To learn more about the CGIAR work and that of many other agencies, I am pleased to launch the CGIAR Tsunami website at http://www.cgiar.org/tsunami/

This collaborative website, constructed by the World Agroforestry Center’s South East Asian team in Bogor, Indonesia, has been jointly supported by funds from the Alliance Executive (formerly the Center Directors Committee) and generous technical support from the CGIAR Secretariat. It is the first such website project among Centers and we welcome your suggestions on how to make it even more useful.

I would personally like to thank the team in Bogor for conceiving the benefits of such a collaborative effort and for bringing it to fruition, particularly: Meine van Noordwijk, Retno Utaira and Tikah Atikah and their team.

Warm regards

William D Dar
Chair
Alliance Executive
