IFPRI ForumPhilip G. Pardey, Julian Alston, and Roley Piggott have received the Quality of Communication Award from the Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society (AARES) for their IFPRI book, Agricultural R&D in the Developing World: Too Little, Too Late?
The team of information managers, IT professionals, and researchers coordinated by IFPRI's Luz Marina Alvaré won the 2006 CGIAR's Outstanding Scientific Support Award. The award recognized their achievement in creating the CGIAR Virtual Library (CGVlibrary), a portal to search and access agricultural research produced by the CGIAR centers and other research organizations. Launched last July, the CGVlibrary is part of the CGIAR's ICT-KM Program. The site averages about 30,000 searches a month.
