Presentation at the 95th Governing Board meeting : CRP-GLDC Performance Management Review by CGIAR Advisory Services (CAS) & Recommendations

  1. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 CRP-GLDC Performance Management Review 1 • Performance Management Review by CGIAR Advisory Services (CAS) • All CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) to be reviewed by December 2020 • First batch of CRPs reviewed: GLDC, Wheat and A4NH • Independent review of quality of science and effectiveness of CRPs in terms of outputs and outcomes, governance and management, and changes in the theory of change • Consultation with the Program Management Unit, Flagship Program Leaders, Cluster of Activity Co-leaders, Cross-cutting Focal Points, Research Management Committee members, Partners/Stakeholders
  2. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 CRP-GLDC Performance Management Review by CGIAR Advisory Services (CAS): Recommendations 2 1. Overall, the quality of science in GLDC is high and novel approaches are being used to generate many IPGs.  Recommendation: In spite of the disappointment of GLDC being terminated one year early, GLDC members are urged to continue to generate high quality outputs with the drive and passion clearly evident from the first two years of operation. 2. GLDC has achieved measurable outcomes of increased productivity and income; increased welfare and reduced poverty incidence; and significant economic benefits in seed systems research.  Recommendation: Future research in seed systems take account of farmer demand for quality seed; farmers’ choices to adopt improved varieties; market preferences; and key factors contributing to the establishment of sustainable seed systems.
  3. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 Recommendations contd… 3 3. GLDC has made good progress in developing strong linkages with most of the integrating CRPs for increased program effectiveness.  Recommendation: Links with A4NH need to be strengthened to ensure that the biofortification targets relate to the nutritional objectives in target countries and with Livestock to fully address the research and development needs in crop-livestock systems. 4. The current farming system research is productive but this approach largely stops at the farm gate.  Recommendation: The systems approach should extend across the whole agri- food system for maximum developmental impact.
  4. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 Recommendations contd… 4 5. The effectiveness of GLDC could be improved through enhanced collaboration and integration both internally and with other partners.  Recommendation: The time allocation of the PD be increased to 40-50% to drive the program as a more coherent and integrated portfolio and play a greater role in facilitating and guiding the direction of W3/bilateral funds under an agri-food systems program vision. 6. The work of GLDC is critical to the hopes and aspirations of millions of poor people in semi-arid and sub-humid lands and the outputs achieved in past two years have impacted positively on those poor people.  Recommendation: GLDC needs to clearly articulate its true potential future contribution by modifying its ToC and Impact Pathways to reflect its current operations to make realistic projections on the likelihood of ultimate delivery of outcomes.
  5. Presentation at the 95th ICRISAT Governing Board Meeting Program Committee Sept 30, 2020 Recommendations contd… 5 7. Concepts and thinking contained in the original GLDC proposal (mirroring those in the SRF) are still appropriate.  Recommendation: Should be reconsidered in the forthcoming ‘One CGIAR’. 8. Simple model in which each FP is entirely supported by one funder beyond Dec 2021  Recommendation: Should be reconsidered in the forthcoming ‘One CGIAR’. Brief report, Full report
