- 6. System objectives/ outcomes To: Reduce rural poverty Improve food security Improve nutrition and health Sustainably manage natural resources through high-quality international research and partnerships
- 7. Delivering on the Vision through the Consortium Research Programs (CRPs) Built and measured on three core principles 1. Impact on 4 system-level outcomes, ensuring consistency between SRF and CRP • reduced rural poverty • improved food security • improved nutrition and health • sustainably managed natural resources 2. Integration across CGIAR core competencies, strengthening synergies and avoiding overlaps 3. Appropriate partnerships at all stages of R&D
- 8. A portfolio of 15 global collaborative programs Multi year, multi-institutional (R&D partners), global programs, research sites in multiple countries Co-designed with partners and stakeholders Measurable milestones, targets, outputs, clear roles of different partners along impact pathways Results-based: delivering on expected outputs, for impact pathways linking research outputs to development impacts.
- 9. New approach: How the work is organised - from impacts on development problems to research outputs Development impacts on food security, environmental sustainability, poverty Measurable targets of direct development impact from collaborative research Deliver Measurable output targets from collaborative programs Assess Monitor and Evaluate Measurable targets for research and development outcomes
- 10. In summary • Research breakthroughs needed to resolve, in sustainable manner, food security and emerging development challenges • Results driven: working from development impacts ‘back’ to research needed. • More productive, stress-resistant varieties + new options for managing biological processes and NRs more effectively under climate change + new policy, marketing options • Requirements: – innovative global partnerships along impact pathways, monitor and assess effectiveness – more integrative science – need to work at multiple levels: local regional national sub-regional global
