Do CCAFS’ climate data and tools contribute to development outcomes?
The production of International PublicGoods (IPGs) – such as high quality, easy to use climate data and tools – is part of CGIAR CCAFS’ delivery promise. With CCAFS’ transition to a results-based management approach there is an ...

Key messages
Initial steps towards outcome-focused monitoring, evaluation & learning (MEL) on communication and engagement can be small, but they must be systematic.
To achieve broad participation, MEL needs to be lean and do-able.
Well-designed MEL adds value by feeding information and les...

Summary for the CCAFS Flagship 4 Projects Kick-off Meeting 28-29 January 2014: Result-based Management Trial
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) integrates climate change research across all CGIAR Research Centres and Research Programs. Some of CCAFS’ work since 2010 has involved the development of high quality, accessible and easy-to-use climate data and ...

Guiding monitoring and evaluation within the CCAFS program. A CCAFS Planning & Reporting platform (P&R) has been developed so that it works for the Results Based Management (RBM) trial for Flagship 4, i.e., allow Flagship project reporting for 2014. This objective has been extended to the creatio...

•
The online platform is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of CCAFS as well as the requirements of CGIAR.
•
Consensus is needed from the outset about the requirements of such a platform, as the right balance has to be struck between detail and leanness.
•
We started with a complex, idealistic...
