Current EIARD strategy

In 2007, EIARD members decided to appoint a task force to revise the exisiting 2005-2010 strategy in order to take into account significant new internal and external (to Europe) developments that occurred since 2005.
This updated strategy aims to enhance European coordination and cooperation in ARD policies and programmes amongst Member countries, increase involvement of ARD stakeholders into the political decision process, inprove integration of European ARD policies into rural development policies, and increase coordination with other ARD donors.

The EIARD Strategy 2005-2010 was an updated revision of “A European Strategy for Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) (1999)”, which served as the EIARD Strategy for the period 1999-2004.
The updated 2005 strategy includes a description of the global development context for ARD, and ends with an outline of proposed EIARD activities for the period up to 2010.
