The Alliance has agreed to develop three examples of Mega Programs, called ‘mock ups’, to illustrate what a Mega Program will look like, and to present the lessons learned from this exercise at the June CGIAR Executive Council meeting. The Consortium Planning Team developed Terms of Reference for the Mega Program 'mock ups' and recommended Center staff to make up the team that have been approved by the full Alliance.
Members of the Mega Program "mock up" team include:
The team was asked to prepare a draft document describing the three ‘mock ups’ by April 24th, for circulation to the Alliance for initial comments; a consolidated version was discussed at the May meeting of the Alliance Board and Executive. The Alliance took note of the lessons learned from the developing the "mock ups" and have integrated this with the work being undertaken by the Strategy team. These lessons are also being shared at the June ExCo meeting.
The Terms of Refence for this team are attached below.
