This page contains the reports prepared by the Strategy and Results Framework 'Committee' (chaired by Joachim von Braun).
Report No. 1 is on the process and progress of the Strategy Committee and was released for information on 28 April 2009. The Alliance reviewed this report at the Alliance meeting (11-13 May 2009). Based on the discussions and comments arising from the Alliance meeting, the document was further refined (Strategy Progress Report 2) and then presented to the CGIAR June Executive Council meeting (Strategy Progress 3). This meeting endorsed the draft and gave the Alliance a 'green light' to proceed with the Strategy and Results Framework and the Mega Programs.
The Strategy Progress No 3 report was commented upon by the Alliance of Deputy Executive (Research) in early June and since then work has continued in the modelling and analysis. In July (22-23) a technical workshop was held in Washington DC to review the initiated prototype work; to review the conceptual approach and methods, as well as responsibilities and timelines and to agree on the scope, methods and processes required to undertake a survey of scientific opportunities and potential impacts (Draft Summary Report from the Technical Design and Implementation Meeting).
Summary report has now been revised with with several comments.
The survey, developed in consultation with partners, including the Global Forum for Agricultural Research, was launched in early August to over 1000 people. This questionnaire was directed to frontline researchers (including those in universities, NARES, farmer organizations, private sector and NGOs), focusing on key opportunities for agricultural research. The input received from the survey was analyzed and fed into the Strategy Team and GFAR processes.
Strategy Progress Report No 4 was released for wider comment on 17 September 2009. The Strategy Team emphasized that this is a 'work in progress'. The team will have its next face-to-face meeting at the end of September and will develop a final draft report later in October.
The draft report by the Strategy Team "Towards a Strategy and Results Framework for the CGIAR" was released for wider comment on 21 October 2009. Feedback and comments on this draft were actively sought and taken into consideration by the Strategy Team. For the CGIAR Business Meeting a lightly edited version of the Strategy was made available (see attachment below)
The Alliance has agreed the next steps for further developing the Strategy and Results Framework (SRF) and the portfolio of Mega Programs derived from it. Based on further inputs by Centers and partners, the analytical basis of the SRF will first be strengthened, and a new version of the document produced by the end of January. This will be widely shared within the Alliance and with key GCARD partners. A face to face meeting of the Alliance, Consortium Board, GCARD global consultants, GFAR representatives and Science Council members will be held in early February 2010. Participants at this meeting will further consider the derivation of a portfolio of MPs from the SRF. There will also be a day of discussion with Fund Council members at this time. This should result in an agreement to present a set of MPs for further consultations and deliberation at the GCARD in Montpellier. The inaugural Consortium Board will then finalize the SRF and portfolio of MPs, in consultation with the Fund Council, for submission to the Fund Council shortly after the GCARD. |
