On the strength of its experience of working in some fifty countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, CIRAD has drawn up a geographical partnership strategy, centring on the implementation of platforms in partnership for research and training.
A platform in partnership for research and training is a group of partners and the desire to work together; shared outlooks and objectives; the long-term commitment of human, material and financial resources to achieve the objectives; a shared research theme; a defined geographical area; a critical mass of multiple competences and activities.
