    Report of the Second External Program and Management Review (EPMR) of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) - CGIAR 2008

    ILRI is a successful organization by most measures. It has overcome a difficult merger 12 years ago, and has risen to the challenge of a vastly expanded mandate without benefit of substantial additional resources. To make its task more difficult and its achievements more impressive, it is supposed to conduct research across all major domestic animal species in all regions of the poverty‐affected world. To accomplish any of this requires a form of intelligent focus that ILRI has been ab le to demonstrate. It should be a matter of pride to the CGIAR and beyond that a Center has delivered so much in an increasingly restricted and competitive funding environment, one in which funding increases tend to be modest. This review of ILRI’s programs and management takes place within the context of a sound institution. It is for that reason that many of the EPMR’s recommendations are presented in terms of strengthening current trends and practices, although sometimes with specif ic requirements for changes in modes of management and delivery.

    Report of the Sixth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) of the International Potato Center (CIP) - CGIAR 2008

    During the last five years CIP has undergone a series of important changes that have affected significantly the life of the Centre. Soon after the 2002 EPMR, the Centre committed itself to produce the necessary changes to adapt to “corresponding changes” in its external environment. The high positive correlation between potato/sweet potato production areas and poverty assures CIP that by concentrating its research work on these two commodities, significant economic, employment, health and other beneficial impacts on the poor can be realized. Indeed, a recent exante impact assessment study conducted by CIP shows that the Center’s research agenda offers significant opportunities to contribute to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) over the coming decades. It has been quite evident to the Panel that CIP has a clear and relevant future down the road.
