In 1991, the CGIAR-supported Centers began a concerted effort to attract and retain highly qualified women scientists, professionals, and managers. To remain facilities of excellence, the Centers recognized the need to create work environments that supported the productivity, career development, and job satisfaction of women and men from diverse backgrounds. A key mechanism in this effort was the development of the system-wide Gender Staffing Program. In 1998, the mandate of the program was broadened and became the Gender and Diversity Program. This Program serves as a resource to the Centers by providing knowledge, tools, skill development training, and financial and technical support.
