The Generation Challenge Programme unites three sets of partners, who together make up the GCP Consortium Members: these include 9 CGIAR centres, 6 ARIs, and 7 NARS. The Consortium was formed to advance the goal of, provide support for, participate in and encourage expanded support for and participation in the Challenge Programme. This collaborative approach allows Generation partners to tap into a significantly larger collective pool of scientific expertise, funding, information and other resources. The arrangement also allows Generation to conduct research on genetic questions that cut across crop species and thereby apply innovations in one area or commodity to other areas. Investigating traits in one species or plant type may provide vital clues to unlocking similar traits in others. Each member of the Consortium group must adhere to the Annual Operating Plan and Annual Budget as established by the Programme Steering Committee (PSC). Our IP Helpdesk  is tailored to provide an understanding of the GCP Consortium Agreement, thereby facilitating its implementation. The Helpdesk also includes background information on the Consortium Agreement.
