Overview
In this session, the Evaluation Function of IAES will focus on the real-time learning approach to evaluate the three CGIAR Science Groups (SGs) (ToRs). Outcomes from evaluating Systems Transformation (ST), Resilient Agrifood Systems (RAFS), and Genetic Innovation (GI) science groups will be featured.
Speakers will share operational and thematic insights on the collaborative and participatory SG evaluation process, and showcase key methodologies employed: the value of 10 thematic case studies by subject-matter experts; the online survey of internal and external CGIAR partners; and a Kenya country brief.
The session will also demonstrate how forward-looking and real-time insights from the three evaluations have been informing the real-time design of the 2025-20230 research portfolio. We’ll discuss the engagement with ISDC and MEL colleagues from the Science Groups’ management teams.
Last but not least, towards evaluating Sustainable Development Goals the overall framing of evaluating science portfolio in CGIAR, and in like-minded organizations will be featured: EVALSDGs Insight #18: Evaluating Quality of Science towards the achievement of the SDG.
