Experiences of Outcome Monitoring in the CGIAR Prepared

چکیده
Monitoring the outcomes of CGIAR research was part of the Performance Measurement System (PMS) that was experimented with in the CGIAR between 2005-2010. An outcome indicator was designed to (i) encourage Centers to invest in monitoring and documenting outcomes across their entire research portfolio; and (ii) characterize annually a limited number of outcomes resulting from Center research. In 2008, the Independent Review of the CGIAR 2 found the outcome cases to be a rich, still evolving, set of data, worth further analysis. This paper presents a summary of the characterization and analysis of the observations and results over the five years of the PMS when outcome cases were recorded. Lessons are drawn from the PMS experience for designing monitoring of results of the CGIAR Research programs (CRP). Examples of outcome cases that received high scores in the CGIAR Science Council’s (SC) assessment are given. During the PMS process, 367 acceptable outcome cases were submitted that spanned the main areas of CGIAR activity and were representative of the diverse research portfolios of the Centers. The outcome cases were assessed by the SC. While the scores of the cases improved over the years, in the final year of the PMS nearly half of the cases were still judged by the SC to be poor to mediocre, and the evidence supporting the cases was largely anecdotal rather than based on studies conducted by the Centers to document outcomes. It is, however, noteworthy that both the outcome cases and the impact studies submitted for the PMS were similarly distributed across the CGIAR research areas, which reflects intent to monitor shortand longer-term results across the research portfolios. It appears that the requirement for outcome reporting may have provided certain discipline for Centers to orient their planning better towards outcomes.
