Summary:Following CGIAR’s decisions at its Annual General Meeting in October 2003 to merge ISNAR with IFPRI and to relocate operations from The Hague to Addis Ababa, the new ISNAR, as a Division of IFPRI, came into being on April 1, 2004. A Program Advisory Committee (PAC) was established to provide guidance on the ISNAR research and program development. To manage the integration of ISNAR within IFPRI, a Special Advisor to the Director General of IFPRI was recruited on a four month consultancy from April, 2004. The complex process of the merger, involving many players – the CGIAR, the Science Council, the Board of IFPRI and ISNAR, the Senior Management of the two institutions, relocation of ISNAR to a new site, and hosting of ISNAR to ILRI was handled efficiently within a short period of 6 months. This review was carried out in July – September 2007 upon the recommendation of the External Program and Management Review of IFPRI.
