During 2004 GFAR made steady overall progress, passing several important landmarks. Conspicuous among these landmarks was completion of the Forum¿s 10-Year Strategy for 2004-2013 and its spearhead in the near term, a rolling Business Plan for 2004-2006.
This Annual Report for 2004 contains, in addition to a round-up of Stakeholder Highlights, a specially commissioned theme feature focusing on one of the four priorities flagged in the Strategy: collaborative research partnerships.
