Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) research projects attempt to achieve impact by promoting the uptake of research findings across differing ‘impact pathways’. Some CIFOR research outputs are tailored to specific local situations, however many more research outputs are intended to...

Influencing the global forest policy agenda: an evaluation of CIFOR's research
A relatively small number of policymakers and opinion leaders in government department, donor agencies, development banks and NGOs make many of the most important and far-reaching decisions about forests and forest policy; these individuals have a great deal of influence over other decision maker...
The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) Criteria and Indicators (C&I) research responded to an international demand for science to help clarify the assessment of sustainable forest management through development and improvement of C&I. C&I help define standards for sustainable fore...

Forestry research, innovation and impact in developing countries - from economic efficiency to the broader public good
The overarching objective for CIFOR is to ensure that research activities result in significant impacts. A secondary, but very important, requirement is to be able to measure and quantify impact. However, impact assessment at CIFOR is viewed as a component in the broader frame of research evaluat...
This note is part of an on-going effort to gain insights to impact assessment and research uptake literature of relevance to natural resource management-related research. It is provided more for the reference list than for the merit of the associated text that is still at an early stage. Many mor...
