This learning brief is part of a series to capture the process, progress and lessons from CCAFS in its endeavor to plan, implement and deliver research outcomes. Since the last of these learning
notes was published1, the process for finalizing the impact pathways (IPs) was considerably simplified...

Learning Brief: Lessons in Theory of Change from a Series of Regional Planning Workshops
Key messages
The development and research sectors have begun monitoring communication and engagement efforts over the last decade, with the result that there are now a number of tools available.
It is rare that blueprints of tools can be applied across a variety of communication and engagemen...

Lessons and Insights from CCAFS Results-Based Management Trial
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...

Measuring how communication and engagement efforts help deliver outcomes
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 ...

Assessing the influence of CCAFS’ climate data and tools: findings from an Outcome Harvesting evaluation
•
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...
