Abstract
This feedback is submitted by the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) in its advisory capacity to the CGIAR system. The observations below are also informed by conversations with the Impact Assessment Community of Practice (IA-COP).
SPIA welcomes the initiative to develop a portfolio-level approach to impact assessment (henceforth IA). The need to demonstrate CGIAR’s achievements at scale and coordination around shared questions is important. Our feedback focuses on whether the draft IA plan will produce evidence that is credible, methodologically sound, and useful for decision-making and meets the identified evidence needs of funders.
