In CCAFS we are building our research for development agenda using outcomes thinking targeted towards five CGIAR intermediate development outcomes (IDOs). Each of our Flagship
research programs and regions are developing theories of change (TOCs), impact pathways (IPs), and monitoring and evaluat...

Lessons in theory of change: CCAFS Southeast Asia Research for Development Workshop
This report presents 4 scenarios for the future of food security, agriculture, livelihoods and environments in East Africa. These scenarios were developed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in collaboration with a wide range of regional stakeholders. Th...

The future of food security, environments and livelihoods in Eastern Africa: four socio-economic scenarios
Climate finance has largely focused on non-agricultural sectors, while finance for
adaptation remains to be largely unexplored. This paper takes stock of existing funds
for agricultural adaptation and compares different elements across these.
Agricultural research for development has made important contributions to poverty reduction and food security
over the last 40 years. Nevertheless, it is likely that both the speed of global change and its impacts on natural and
socio-economic systems are being under-estimated. Coupled with the m...

Responding to global change: A theory of change approach to making agricultural research for development outcome-based
The purpose of this working paper is to provide insight into how we can use novel approaches to scale up research findings on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to meaningfully address the challenges of poverty and climate change. The approaches described include those based on value chains and priv...

Reaching more farmers: Innovative approaches to scaling up climate-smart agriculture
The dynamics of systemic societal transformations are not well understood, and the extent to
which such transformations can be governed is contested. This research paper is the result of
a joint effort among a small group of researchers to identify pathways for transformation
towards sustainable ...
This document outlines how the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) should work on monitoring and evaluation, outlining a strategy for the work. The Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy is structured into three main sections: Goals and Objectives; Theoreti...
CGIAR is moving to a different model of doing science, and this needs to be well thought out and understood by centres, CRP researchers and partners. The focus can no longer be on research deliverables such as reports, trainings, crop varieties and decision support tools. We have learnt that the ...

Summary for the CCAFS Flagship 4 Projects Kick-off Meeting 28-29 January 2014: Result-based Management Trial
The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades. The synergies and trade-offs between food security, adaptation, and mitigation objectives are not well studied, however. Comprehensive evalua...
