Book (stand-alone)An Assessment of the Impact of Agricultural Research in South Asia since the Green Revolution - CGIAR 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This study critically reviews and assesses the large body of evidence on the impacts of agricultural research by the CGIAR and its partners in South Asia. The long history of research, the extensive databases available and the vast literature on impacts that exist in this region provide a fertile ground for this study, which aims to systematically examine and understand the complexities of how research has led to outputs, uptake, outcomes and impacts, and the distributional consequences of these. -

DocumentBackground document to the FAO e-mail conference on "Approaches and methodologies in ex post impact assessment of agricultural research: Experiences, lessons learned and perspectives" 2014
Also available in:
No results found.This article represents the background document to the FAO moderated e-mail conference entitled “Approaches and methodologies in ex post impact assessment of agricultural research: Experiences, lessons learned and perspectives” which begins 5 May 2014. The document’s aim is to provide an easily understandable introduction and brief overview to the approaches and methodologies used in ex post impact assessment (epIA) of agricultural research. The document begins with an introduction to the genera l area of evaluation and then narrows down to epIA, one component of the whole evaluation package. It proceeds to describing the main approaches and methodologies used for carrying out epIA of agricultural research. These are classified into two broad groups: macro-level assessments looking, for example, at the impacts of agricultural research at the regional or national level and micro-level assessments, looking at the impacts of specific research-derived interventions. The document also briefl y considers the issue of how the epIA results are communicated to donors and policy-makers and how they subsequently use them. It concludes with a series of questions which participants are asked to address during the conference. After the conference, a summary document will be published, synthesizing the main issues discussed during the conference.
