The document discusses capacity development in the CGIAR. It notes that capacity development is crucial for enabling the transition from research outputs to development outcomes. It involves enhancing the abilities of both CGIAR and its partners to navigate complex reforms across individual, organizational, and institutional levels. The document outlines key elements of capacity development, including needs assessment, innovative learning materials, developing partnerships, identifying future research leaders, institutional strengthening, and research on capacity development itself. It proposes a community of practice to help collaborative research programs prepare for the next round.
Capacity development within CGIAR
- 1. Capacity Development in CGIAR Alain Vidal CSE-HR joint meeting – June 2014
- 2. Capacity development Our value proposition • Capacity development is a crucial and strategic enabler in the journey from research outputs to development outcomes • Successful capacity development enhances the ability of both CGIAR and its partners to navigate the complex reform process • Across multiple levels – individual, organisational and institutional – wider than the mere transfer of knowledge and skills through training
- 3. Key elements and cooperation opportunities with CRPs
- 4. What do we aim for with these elements? • Needs assessment and intervention strategy The right interventions for the right audience • Innovative learning materials and approaches (gender)
- 5. What do we aim for with these elements? • Develop our capacity to partner Who are the best partners to achieve outcomes? Can we trigger development to finance research? • Future research leaders Talent management Fellowship Programs
- 6. What do we aim for with these elements? • Institutional strengthening Advising decision makers on legislation / innovation Advocacy / policy dialogues Managing risks: financial, contractual, reputational • Research on capacity development Action- and participatory-research
- 7. A CapDev Community of Practice to help CRPs prepare their 2nd round
- 8. Discussion • What are your own success stories on those CD elements? • What do you see as critical pathways?
Editor's Notes
- #5: Intervention strategy: IITA-CCAFS Climate-smart coffee-banana systems Innovating materials and approaches : GRiSP-Allianz ICT tools for farmers (input from Ph. Ellul)
- #6: Best partners: WLE-CPWF human-right based approaches in Colombia with WWF Future leaders : enabling YPs in involving them in decisions (CPWF 3rd Forum in SA)
- #7: How risky is this to partner with non research institution (contractual / financial) To engage on controversial issues : CSA, large dams, GMOs, etc. ?
