CIRAD signed a contractual agreement with its supervising ministries in 2002. As explained in CIRAD 2002, monitoring indicators were chosen for the agreement, to indicate the priorities and any changes in activity: scientific policy, geographical choices, and partnerships. They were supplemented in 2003 by indicators of scientific production (publications) and of application of results (patents, certification, development projects). Comparisons have been made for the preceding three years.
