The Crawford Fund’s Doing Well by Doing Good Task Force released its findings on 17 December, and it will now be the focus of a major advocacy and media effort to explain the benefits to Australia from international agricultural research.
The report and a summary can be downloaded below. Hard copies of the report can be obtained by contacting our central office.
The Crawford Fund has always promoted that Australian development assistance programs in agriculture and related sectors should retain their primary purpose of assisting economic and social development in the developing countries, in accordance with Australia’s nation interests.

Now the report has substantiated our contention with sound argument and independent analysis.
The task force drew upon independent impact assessments and a national consultation so that the resulting report embodies inputs and experiences from policy makers, farmers, scientists, researchers, extension workers and others involved in domestic and international agricultural research.
Some of the key findings include:
Feedback on the report is most welcome and can be sent through to our Chief Executive.
