Funders Forum Sample Clauses

Funders Forum. 10.1 The Funders Forum is a biennial event providing a platform through which the participants: discuss and exchange views about the CGIAR; endorse the SRF proposed by the Consortium every six years; endorse an approach to address cost sharing of System Costs; provide feedback to the Consortium and the Fund Council on the implementation of the SRF based on progress reports received from the Consortium and on the mid-term independent evaluations of the SRF; provide feedback to the Fund Council on funding issues based on reports from the Fund Council; review of a financing plan for CGIAR prepared by the Fund Office in consultation with the Trustee and the Consortium following establishment of the CGIAR Fund; and review shortfalls or imbalances in resources available for CRPs, so that individual funders may consider adjusting or augmenting their allocations. 10.2 All entities that are Fund Donors eligible for Fund Council representation, all non-donor entities that are Fund Council Members, all countries hosting the headquarters of a CGIAR Center, and all Bilateral Funders contributing at least US$ 500,000 each of the previous two calendar years to fund implementation of the SRF may participate in the Funders Forum. The Co-chairs of the Funders Forum may additionally invite participants from among CGIAR’s internal and external stakeholders, including potential funders, to attend the Funders Forum. 10.3 The Funders Forum is convened every two years, in such a way as to allow feed-in of GCARD recommendations. In the years where no Funders Forum is convened, Bilateral Funders may be invited to interact with the Consortium and the Centers in events linked with Fund Council meetings, according to a format agreed by the Consortium and the Fund Council. 10.4 The first Funders Forum was chaired by the Chair of the Fund Council and chose co-chairmanship for subsequent Funders Fora. The co-chairs provide leadership to the Funders Forum, interact with the Fund Council, the Consortium, and Funders Forum participants, and coordinate with the Fund Office on Funders Forum planning and follow-up.
