Learning Brief: Lessons in Theory of Change from a Series of Regional Planning Workshops
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...

The future of food security, environments and livelihoods in Eastern Africa: four socio-economic scenarios
This study is a survey of existing and emerging models for the delivery of agricultural
information to rural communities in CCAFS countries in East and West Africa. The objective
is to identify promising frameworks on which to build for the delivery of climate information
to rural communities, un...
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 ...
