Abstract

Background The 2008 HR Survey is the seventh in a series of staff population surveys conducted by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) since 1991. The surveys have been designed to provide feedback and data about the extent to which the CGIAR is meeting its goals of achieving gender and diversity balance across its workforce. The 2008 survey recorded staffing data as at 30 April 2008, i.e. precisely five years after the previous survey in 2003. It also reviewed staff turnover for this five-year period. CGIAR overview As at 30 April 2008 the CGIAR employed a total of 7,909 staff, comprising 7,841 staff across the 15 CGIAR Centers, 57 staff in the CGIAR System Office Units, and 11 staff in the Science Council secretariat. Centers overview The 7,841 staff in Centers (including the 15 Directors General) reflected a two percent increase since 2003. Forty-five percent of Center staff were directly engaged in “core” activities, i.e. the Centers’ science programs. The growth in Center staff since 2003 was entirely in core activities. The majority of Center staff, 81 percent, were employed on nationally recruited conditions. Internationally recruited staff comprised 13 percent, and regionally recruited staff 6 percent, of the workforce. Center staff were located in 73 countries. The three countries with the highest numbers of staff were India (911), the Philippines (884) and Nigeria (826). The three countries with the highest number of Scientists were the Philippines (157), Kenya (148) and India (95). Sixty-eight percent of Center staff were based at their Centers’ headquarters, with 15 percent at regional and subregional offices, and 16 percent at country and field offices....
