Generic CRP Results Strategy Framework
CGIAR System Strategic goals
System -evel outcomes (SLOs)1. Reduction of rural poverty2. Increase in food security3. Improved nutrition and health4. More sustainable management
of natural resources
What do we know about Intermediate Development Outcomes (IDOs)?
• “Direct benefits to beneficiaries or changes in enabling environment”
• Measured “at scale”
– “millions instead of thousands” of people
– “long term” (9-20 years in the future)
• Total number of IDOs defined by CRPs: 20, 11 of which are “common”
• Average number per CRP: 6
Revised Common IDOs (from CRP-IDO Working Group Oct 2013)Productivity - Improved productivity in pro-poor food systemsFood security - Increased and stable access to food commodities by rural and urban poor
Nutrition - Improved diet quality of nutritionally-vulnerable populations, especially women and childrenIncome - Increased and more equitable income from agricultural and natural resources management and environmental services earned by low income value chain actors Gender & Empowerment - Increased control over resources and participation in decision-making by women and other marginalized groupsCapacity to Innovate - Increased capacity for innovation within low income and vulnerable rural communities allowing them to improve livelihoodsAdaptive capacity - Increased capacity in low income communities to adapt to environmental and economic variability, shocks and longer term changesPolicies – More effective policies, supporting sustainable, resilient and equitable agricultural and natural resources management developed and adopted by agricultural, conservation and development organizations, national governments and international bodiesEnvironment - Minimized adverse environmental effects of increased production intensificationFuture Options - Greater resilience of agricultural/forest/water based/mixed crop livestock, aquatic systems for enhanced ecosystem services Climate - Increased carbon sequestration and reduction of greenhouse gases through improved agriculture and natural resources management

Nutrition IDOCommon -Improved diet quality of nutritionally-vulnerable populations, especially women and children
Contributing mainly to SLO 3 Nutrition & Health
10 CRPs involved11 IDOs
1.1 Dryland Systems - Women and children in vulnerable households have year round access to greater quantity and diversity of food sources. 1.2 Humidtropics IDO2 - Increased consumption of safe, nutritious foods by the poor, especially among nutritionally vulnerable women and children1.3 AAS IDO2 - Increased consumption of nutritious, safe foods by low income households in aquatic agricultural systems, especially by nutritionally vulnerable women and children3.2 Maize IDO4 - Increased nutritional diet3.3 GRiSP IDO6 - Improved nutrition status derived from rice consumption3.4 RTB IDO4 - Increased consumption of safe and nutritious food by the poor especially among the nutritionally vulnerable women and children3.5 Grain Legumes IDO3 - Increased consumption of healthy grain legumes and products by the poor for a more balanced and nutritious diet, especially among nutritionally vulnerable women and children 3.6 Dryland Cereals IDO3 - Increased consumption of nutritious drylandcereals by the poor, especially rural women and children3.7 L&F IDO4 - Increased consumption of the target commodity responsible for filling a larger share of the nutrient gap for the poor, particularly for nutritionally vulnerable populations (women of reproductive age and young children)4 A4NH IDO1 - Better diet quality
Gender and empowerment IDOCommon wording -Increased control over resources and participation in decision-making by women and other marginalized groups
Contributing mainly to SLO 1 Poverty Reduction
7 CRPs involved7 IDOs
1.2 Humidtropics IDO5 - Increased control by women and other marginalized groups over integrated systems assets, inputs, decision-making and benefits1.3 AAS IDO4 - Increased control of assets, inputs, decision-making and benefits by women and other marginalized groups in aquatic agricultural system3.3 GRiSP IDO9 - Increased gender equity in the rice value chain4 A4NH IDO3 - Empowerment5 WLE IDO3 - Women and marginalized groups have improved decision making power over and increased benefits derived from agriculture and natural resources6 FTA IDO3 - Greater gender equity in decision-making and control over forest and tree use, management and benefits are improved through women’s empowerment7 CCAFS IDO2 - Increased control by women and other marginalized groups of assets, inputs, decision-making and benefits
Illustrative framework for common IDOs
CRP Proposed indicators/metrics for Nutrition IDO1.1 DrylandSystems
Improved knowledge and attitudes toward better nutrition, willingness to pay and trade for diverse and quality food. Indicators are mainly qualitative and Specific knowledge related questions included in cross-sectional surveys
Increased food/crop diversity in farms, markets, and purchased by consumers. Increased dietary diversity of women and children using the FAO and WHO indicators of diet diversity
Reduced seasonal vulnerability to food shortages – measured by months of inadequate food provisioning (FANTA indicator) and Household food insecurity access scale in “lean” season (FANTA indicator)
1.2 Humidtropics
Changes in the diversity and quality of diets.Attitudes toward better nutrition, willingness to pay and trade for diverse and quality food.Food/crop diversity in farms, markets, and on the plate (household consumption).
1.3 AAS IDO2 - Increased consumption of nutrient rich small fish and vegetables by women and children Dietary diversity in women and in young children
3.2 Maize IDO4-
Increased consumption of iron and zinc rich maize Increased consumption of lysine and tryptophan rich maize Increased consumption of pro-vitamin A rich maize Increased consumption dual purpose maize
3.1. WHEAT IDO
Diet diversity; intake of selected micronutrient by target population
3.3 GRiSP IDO6 Increased consumption of iron and zinc rich riceIncreased consumption of pro-vitamin A rich rice
3.4 RTB IDO4 Improvement in frequency of consumption of safe and nutritious foods by children under 5 yrs and women of reproductive age
Improvement in dietary diversity indices of target households3.5 Grain Legumes IDO3-
Increases in consumptionIncreases in consumption and quality
3.6 Dryland Cereals IDO3
Increased consumption of nutritious dryland cereals by target populations
3.7 L&F IDO4 Dietary diversity 4 A4NH IDO1 Dietary diversity
Intake of select micronutrients by target population:

Conclusion
• Important to have IDOs well-articulated and understood, but the pathways are what we will actually use to design, implement, monitor and evaluate research in “real time” and make changes to ensure we are on track
• Each CRP needs to develop its own, but they should reflect what is known about how agricultural research leads to development outcomes– Ensures consistency
– Provide the basis for collaboration and mutual learning within and across CRPs, in research and evaluation
