2016 Plan of Work and Budget

The 2016 Plan of Work and Budget (POWB2016) of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Dryland Systems (hereinafter referred to as DS) was designed against a moving background of financial constraints that have seen the intended W1+2 budget fall from $ 10.5 million USD as envisioned at the start to 2015 to $ 2 million as determined by the CO Office in October 2015, thus leaving the CRP a limited budget to deliver outcomes and impact committed in the program proposal as it was being developed for 2016. This plan is thus designed with the W1/W2 funds only as resources to transit out of current activities. We note that the CO did not discuss the allocated resources to close operations with the PMU and ISC.
