1. CGIAR Principles: The CGIAR Principles are overall principles guiding the Fund Council and the Consortium in the joint efforts to implement the Strategy and Results Framework.
2. Fund Governance Framework: The Governance Framework describes the governance of the CGIAR Fund and all related structural elements. It defines the relationships among the Fund Council, Fund Office, the Trustee and the Funders Forum.
3. Contribution Agreement or Arrangement: The Contribution Agreement or Arrangement is the individual agreement or arrangement through which each Fund Donor will make its contribution to the CGIAR Fund. Each Contribution Agreement or Contribution Arrangement contains a cover agreement or arrangement specifying donor contributions followed by common annexes with standardized terms for Trustee provisions (annex 2) and a form for Window 3 Transfer Agreement (annex 3).
