Science and innovation chapterthe science and innovation chapter has expanded and integrated within the cimmyt science and innovation structure: it includes a portfolio of projects, which have a broad food systems approach and use resources and capacities across all cimmyt research programs and executed under leadership of the chief science and innovation officer (cso) and/or managed through the dg-office or regional directors. For 2024, major projects under the science and innovation chapter include (but are not limited to) the sustainable agri food systems approach project for sudan (sasas) and funder contributions from the government of mexico. The sasas project takes a modular and multi-crop approach, (continued in schedule o)implementing an integrated agrifood system that supports food security, employment, and equity. The project focuses on soil fertility management integrated with agrifood systems based on smallholder farmer productivity gains, leveraging both one cgiar and non-cgiar innovation partners to support scaling on the ground by last-mile partners.

Global maize program (gmp)cimmyt develops and distributes improved maize inbred lines and hybrids to partners worldwide. This work improves the food security, incomes and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and their families in the tropics and subtropics of africa, asia, and latin america.the objectives of cimmyt's maize breeding and seed systems work are to:-develop genetically diverse, high-yielding maize inbred lines and hybrids, combining multiple-stress tolerance, nutrient use efficiency, enhanced nutritional quality, and desirable seed production properties for target production zones.(continued in schedule o)-accelerate the rate at which the genetic potential for maize yields increases each year and improve the efficiency of maize breeding operations, through integrated application of modern tools and technologies.-deploy cimmyt-derived improved maize varieties in the tropics through public-private partnerships, while strengthening local maize seed production and delivery systems.-build local capacity - particularly of women and youth - in maize breeding and seed systems through training and knowledge exchange.cimmyt's maize breeding work aims at developing easy-to-produce, best-bet hybrids, elite maize lines, and improved open-pollinated varieties, as well as science-based recommendations for varietal targeting and improved productivity in target regions.in addition to higher grain yield, cimmyt's maize breeding teams focus on:-yield stability in stress-prone environments, through tolerance to drought, heat, and poorly fertile soils.-resistance to major diseases, insect pests, and parasitic weeds.-enhanced nutritional qualities, such as provitamin a, high-kernel zinc, and quality protein maize.

Form 990, part v, line 2a:total number of persons employed worldwidecimmyt is a primarily international organization, incorporated in mexico with operations globally. On the form 990, part v, line 2a it has reported 4 individuals working for its organization that are u.s. Citizens, and cimmyt reports on form w-3 for payroll tax purposes. Globally the organization employs 1,273 in total, these are not included on form 990, part v, line 2a, as they have no u.s. Payroll tax reporting requirements.form 990, part v, line 4b:financial accounts in foreign countriesalthough the organization has foreign accounts it is not required to file fbar reports because it is a non-us organization and no us individuals have signature authority.
