For Whom/ What Purpose?
CRP Management • Learning for strategic management and
adaptations and adjustments of program
• Preparation: 2nd cycle of CRP proposals
System-wide• System wide strategic management
(MTR, SRF, 2nd call for funding) • Resource for system-wide evaluation

Special attention to:
Programmatic Aspects within evaluation criteria
• Research and development challenges• Coherence of design and portfolio alignment• Quality of Science• Comparative Advantage • Progress against commitments / likelihood of outcomes• Evidence of impacts from past research • Partnerships for effectiveness• Theory of Change
Methodology – common elementsUse of series of data collection and analysis, and the triangulation of evidence collected from different sources, including: • desk review of key program documents; • reviews of previous relevant evaluations/impact assessments; • interviews of CGIAR staff involved with the program, external
partners, and professional peers; • portfolio analysis of CRP-supported research activities; • electronic surveys of CGIAR staff and external partners; • Qualitative and quantitative methods for Quality of Science analysis• Bibliometric analysis of CRP publications• Case-studies = legacy projects/ hubs/ modeling • Site and center visits by core team members
