Informe de la Direcci? n Ejecutiva del IAI

The IAI is managing the closure of its CRN I program and the implementation of CRN II and Small Grants Program for Human Dimensions (SGP-HD), while seeking new funding from the MacArthur Foundation and IDRC. The institute is expanding its regional network through collaborations with entities like IGBP, IUCN, and CEPAL, and is focusing on capacity building through research internships and specialized training institutes on climate risk, water management, and urban responses. Efforts to secure operational budget contributions from member countries like Guatemala and Uruguay are ongoing.

• The CRN I program is scheduled to close on November 30, 2007, with remaining funds used for synthesis and dissemination activities, including the translation of the SCOPE/IAI book into Spanish.
• The IAI has secured a USD 450,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation for an assessment of research and institutional needs regarding climate change effects on Andean biodiversity.
• A proposal for CAD 440,000 submitted to the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) concerning land use, hydrology, and climate in the Plata basin is currently under evaluation and is expected to be funded.
• The IAI is facing significant delays in signing CRN II agreements, particularly with beneficiary institutions in the United States, due to the highly detailed nature of the contracts developed with the NSF.
• The IAI is working to resolve budget contribution arrears with member countries; Guatemala has not contributed due to a lack of a designated responsible institution, and Uruguay has not paid since its initial contribution.
• The IAI has proposed four training institutes for 2007-2009 to the NSF for US$ 300,000, covering information management in Panama, climate change risk in Honduras, semi-arid basin management in Brazil, and urban responses to climate change in Chile.
