• Identify significant global development problems that science can help solve;
• Collect and organize knowledge related to these development problems;
• Develop research programs to fill the knowledge gaps to solve these development problems;
• Catalyze and lead putting research into practice, and policies and institutions into place, to solve these development problems;
• Lead monitoring and evaluation, share the lessons we learn and best practices we discover;
• Conserve, evaluate and share genetic diversity; and
• Strengthen skills and knowledge in agricultural research for development around the world.
