What is CIARD?
The Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) initiative is working to make agricultural research information publicly available and accessible to all. This means working with organisations that hold information or that create new knowledge – to help them disseminate it more efficiently and make it easier to access.

Thinking globally, but acting locally
Importantly, CIARD emphasises the need to respect the roles of national, regional and international institutions. Our aim is to help them to align their efforts to develop better connected information collections and services. Aligning local efforts in different countries in this way means that they’ll have a global impact, changing the way that knowledge changes hands and gets used worldwide.

What you can do
We encourage any institution interested in joining the partnership or finding out more to contact us: information@ciard.net.

Core Partners: CIARD is guided by an informal group of
international and regional partners from around the world.
