2 CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) The new research instrument of the CGIAR A more strategic approach of the CGIAR system to achieve impact on CGIAR System-Level Outcomes: Reduce rural poverty Improve food security Improve nutrition and health Achieve more sustainable management of natural resources Increased level of collaboration and partnerships Streamlined, effective system-level governance Strengthened, coordinated funding mechanisms

3 CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) A coherent portfolio of 15 CRPs Commodities (Rice, Maize, Wheat, Dryland cereals, Livestock and fish, Grain legumes, Roots-tubersbananas) Agroecological zones (Drylands, Humid Tropics, Aquatic Systems) Policy, Institutions and Markets Nutrition and Health Water and Land Forests and trees Climate change

4 The CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions and Markets

5 Hugh McLeod Global Food Security Challenges are Large Weak institutions Low capacity Thin and uncompetitive markets Climate change Conflict Rising energy prices High and volatile food prices Poor governance Poor policies Underinvestment in agriculture and rural development Biofuel expansion Lack of evidence-based policies Poor governance Natural resource constraints Population growth Gender inequality Demographic changes

8 Strategic Goal of the Program Identify and promote implementation of policies, institutions, and markets to improve food security and incomes of the rural poor on a sustainable basis

9 Objectives of the Program Improve policies to deliver sustainable technologies to small-scale producers Enhance the effectiveness of public and private investment Improve macroeconomic, trade, and agricultural sector policies Develop social protection to build and protect assets for the poor Strengthen property rights and collective action institutions for sustainable natural resource management and poverty reduction Improve governance of rural services, especially related to land administration, management of rural infrastructure and agricultural innovation Increase competitiveness of markets to benefit producers and consumers Offer greater income opportunities by integrating small-scale producers into upgraded value chains

10 Program Highlights Strong capacity building Effective data strategy Inclusive partnerships and strong collaboration Linkages between policies, institutions and markets research Management for impact Integrated approach to gender Innovative research areas and methods

11 THEME 1 Effective Policies & Strategic Investments Three Interlinked Themes Theme 2 clarifies feasibility of policy reforms; shows how property rights, collective action, and asset patterns affect technology adoption. Theme 1 identifies needed technology policies, investments, and safety nets. OUTCOMES Reduced rural poverty Improved food security Improved nutrition and health Sustainable management of natural resources Theme 2 shows how producer groups and control over assets can help small-scale producers participate in value chains. Theme 1 identifies macroeconomic conditions, investments, and technology policies to improve inclusive markets for smallholders. Theme 3 identifies sector strategies, regulation and investment needs, and market failures to be overcome. Theme 3 identifies market opportunities, product quality needs, and certification, food safety, and traceability standards that affect the institutional environment.

13 Strategic Research on Gender Generating evidence and improving the information base on gender in agriculture Evaluating the linkages between agricultural/rural transformations and gender relations Applying gender analysis to policy reform and implementation

14 State-of-the-art Research Approaches Strategic foresight platform Innovative data banking and access, including long term panel datasets Social network analyses, involving gender disaggregated survey techniques Experimental games New impact assessment techniques, especially for policy research Innovations in risk management through innovative insurance approaches Participatory action research Gender and intrahousehold analyses Country Strategy Support Programs

15 Research outputs Research capacity Monitoring and evaluation, impact assessment Development community, stakeholders, advocates Influence policy development and implementation arena 1 Inform and enrich research, bolster research capacity Improved Knowledge THEME 1 THEME 2 THEME 3 Impact Pathways Extension services, NGOs Public Awareness Media General public Provide policy recommendations Implementation of development actions 2 3 Farmers Traders Service providers System-Level Outcomes Reduced rural poverty Improved food security Improved nutrition and health More sustainable management of natural resources Policy analysts Policymakers, ministries Policy changes

16 Inclusive Partnerships for Impact Participate in the design of CRP2 and conduct research CG Centers, GFAR & regional forums, NARSs, universities, research institutes, other CRPs Take up research outcomes Research partners Donor agencies, farmers organizations, private sector Policy and practitioner partners Knowledge sharing partners Collect, share, and transmit knowledge Donor agencies, NGOs, universities Partnerships = 23% of CRP2 funding

17 Comparative Advantage of the Program Established partnerships and track record Specific mandate of CGIAR at intersection of food security, poverty, and sustainable agriculture Expertise in both social and biophysical sciences from the CGIAR and other partners Large network for data collection, analysis, policy engagement in developing countries Focus on research-based capacity building Stimulates country-led, country-driven, and country-owned policies and strategies

18 Value Added of the Program New linkages between policies, institutions and markets research New methods: impact assessment for policy research New data platform for cross-partner systems, tools, and sharing protocols to support data access and sharing Harmonization of strategic foresight and priority setting in the CGIAR Integration of social science research in the CGIAR
