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...
Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on crop, livestock and fisheries production, and will change the prevalence of crop pests. Many of these impacts are already measurable. Climate impact studies are dominated by those on crop yields despite the limitations of climate-crop modelling, wi...

Reducing risks to food security from climate change
Decision makers in developing countries need evidence of the impacts climate change is having and will continue to have on agriculture and food systems as well as knowledge on how to design better policies to deal with such impacts. Research for development scientists are generating this evidence...

Lessons on bridging the science-policy divide for climate change action in developing countries
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 ...

Exploring and developing effective evaluative approaches for evidencing the contribution of CCAFS climate data and tools towards development outcomes
Climate change is currently acknowledged as one of the pressing global threats to the
environment and humanity. This threat has moved the global community to take action on
adaptation and mitigation efforts to cushion its devastating effects. Cognizance has been taken
of the disproportionate impa...

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 ...

Lessons in theory of change: experiences from CCAFS
In 2011, CCAFS carried out baseline surveys (household survey, a village study and an organizational survey) in 21 research sites across 17 countries within its five focus regions, using standardized baseline tools in each site. Seven years after the implementation of the baseline studies, the CC...
