• Advance the cultural change processes necessary for a successful One CGIAR transition.

• Review, elaborate, take forward, and describe CGIAR’s target culture, including management styles, and a set of One Culture principles.

• Develop a One Culture Framework and a two-year Action Plan, to be drafted and ready for consultation by end of 2022, paving the way for effective implementation in 2023.​

CGIAR People & Culture (P&C) formed the Culture Task Team (CTT) reflecting the divisions and geographies of One CGIAR, with representation from the global P&C community.

Building on previous consultations, staff surveys and the work of the P&C division, the CTT developed One CGIAR Culture Framework and an initial Action Plan for implementation in 2023.

Before and after stewarding the work of the CTT, Convene curated two People & Culture Retreats (Addis Ababa, June 2022 and Rome February 2023) where the One CGIAR transition and One CGIAR Culture were discussed and translated into their operationalisation by the P&C group.

Areas of impact: Transformative partnerships & Collaborative Platforms

Outcomes:

• CGIAR Culture Framework
