IFPRI celebrated its 40th anniversary around the world throughout 2015. Receptions were held in Addis Ababa, Beijing, Dakar, Dhaka, Islamabad, and Lilongwe to mark this momentous occasion. These events were also an opportunity for IFPRI to recognize its many partners and collaborators for their tremendous contributions to work on food and nutrition security over the past 40 years.

Among the long-standing partners who attended these events were Matia Chowdhury, Minister of Agriculture of Bangladesh; Newai Gebre-ab, Chief Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ethiopia and Director of the Ethiopian Development Research Institute; and Justin Yifu Lin, Professor and Honorary Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University in China.

IFPRI is grateful to its many partners in countries across the globe and looks forward to continued collaboration to ensure food and nutrition security in the coming decades.
