Resources and Downloads
For the “Doing Well by Doing Good” campaign, we have a set of resources for your information and use. We hope you will join us in our efforts to bring attention to the benefits of agricultural research for development and the strong case for greater funding.
The resources will help us (and you) make the case that despite the proof positive from benefit-cost analyses finding a ratio of 10:1 on investment and the less quantifiable social, environmental and diplomatic benefits in-country and to Australia of investing in international agricultural research for development (Ag4Dev), the proportion of Australia’s development-assistance budget it receives is only around 2.5 per cent. We firmly believe it is in Australia’s interests to increase the proportion of its development-assistance budget invested in Ag4Dev.
Here are our resources and downloads on #WhyAg4Dev.
