  • Management Engagement and Response: Process & Performance Evaluations in CGIAR

Abstract

These Guidelines intend to improve the use and uptake of evaluations across CGIAR, and to strengthen accountability and adaptive management underscored by a culture of learning, by:

  • Clarifying roles and responsibilities of managers, commissioners, and evaluators.
  • Providing a pathway for preparing effective and impactful Management Response
  • Enhancing the quality, utility, and impact of evaluations and MRs.
  • Promoting cost- and time-effective evaluation practices.
  • Enabling managers to apply recommendations for informed decisions and strategic direction.

Ultimately, these Guidelines support a continuous learning culture, enabling CGIAR managers to use evaluative recommendations for informed decision-making and strategic direction.
