Plan of Results and Budgets

This page hosts the Plans of Results and Budgets (PORBs) for the CGIAR 2025–2030 Portfolio. These documents are developed as part of CGIAR’s adaptive management approach, following the Plan–Report–Reflect–Replan cycle, which plays a vital role in ensuring the successful implementation of W1/2-funded Programs and Accelerators and centers W3 and Bilateral projects mapped to the CGIAR 2025–2030 Portfolio.

The development of PORBs follows a two-phase process: Planning Phase: Programs and Accelerators define how they intend to implement their results. This includes providing timelines and aggregated costing information for High-Level Outputs by Area of Work, along with Cross-Cutting and Management components. It also captures intervention geographies, key partners, cross Programs and Accelerators collaborations and mapped W3/Bilateral projects. Re-plan Phase: Based on insights gained during the reflection phase, Programs and Accelerators revise their initial plans. These updates ensure alignment with approved budget envelopes, Center allocations, and updated priorities. The revisions are reflected in updated Theories of Change and PORBs.

PORBs support Program and Accelerator planning by outlining expected annual results-including outcomes and outputs- in relation to available resources. By articulating intended results aligned with Theories of Change and implementation timelines, PORBs serve as strategic planning tools that provide a line of sight for managing pooled W1/2 2025 funding in alignment with Center allocations and Centers W3 and Bilateral projects mapped to the portfolio. They include costing information mapped to High-level Outputs within each Area of Work and across implementing CGIAR Centers. These results are directly linked to approved annual budgets, offering a comprehensive view of available resources and delivery timelines.

PORBs also serve as a core component of Center-level Decision Letters, confirming fund allocations as part of CGIAR Governance requirements specifically related to Financial and Programmatic performance oversight as outlined in the CGIAR System Framework, Article 6
