The document discusses annual reporting for phase II programs, which provides a health check for funders and stakeholders between full evaluations. It focuses on measuring the quality of research through examining resources and management, the research process, and outputs. Specifically, it looks at staffing levels, funding allocations, learning and adaptation, and quantitative outputs like technologies developed, beneficiaries reached, and hectares impacted. It also considers adding a management indicator and measuring client satisfaction to better assess the research process.
