IITA R4D
Implication of CGIAR reform on research and operations
Future for IITA R4D Projects
• Summary of implications
• CRP and IITA Programs
• Challenges
• Opportunities
• 2011 as transition
Implication of changes in funding type no restricted increasing restricted 100% restricted
Center Strategic Agenda completelyown agenda and framework framework
Inter-Center Interactionscompetition with CGIAR donors Increasing competition
collaborative' with significant competition for cost, efficiency, and effectiveness
Partnership-WhoNARS as beneficiaries
NARES, ARI, limited private sector, NGO
Traditional, New, and Complex
Partnership-Management optional important required
Funds available for capacity building, infrastructure, collaborative activities such as technical assistance, networking, international trials, service, etc fully costed from core
some core/some projects fully costed from projects
Stakeholder feedback informalincreasing importance and formal
formally need to include in planning and reporting
accountability for funds not really yes and no key criteria for success
outputs, outcomes, impact mainly sciencesome use of performance indicators
Key criteria for success with performance indicators with clear targets

New Challenges
• 100% projectized– Fully allocated and costed– Fully accountable, financially and technically
New Challenges
• Project management– New processes and tools– Implementation planning– M&E internally and externally– New performance indicators
New Challenges
• CRP roles– Manage as Lead Institute– Be managed as primary partner– Initial small role in areas of priority for IITA, such
as CRP4
• CRP and IITA Programs– Alignment?– Maintain both?
New Challenges
• Broader teams– Multiple centers and continents– Planning, implementing and reporting– Conflict management– Competition for resources uncertain– Partnership management
Future Opportunities
• Global Focus– Impact – Partnerships– Visibility
Future Opportunities
• Research– Inter Center collaboration offers new research
areas– New research areas within CRP, like Humidtropics– New research areas from partnerships– Greater critical mass for priority areas
Future Opportunities
• Partnerships– Centers: CRP funds to fully operationalize
planning, implementation, reporting, and have impact
– Increased with private sector and new ARI– New research or development focus – More learning and proactive management
Future Opportunities
• Stakeholders– Greater relevance and uptake with more input– Greater uptake and outcomes with greater
feedback to stakeholders
Future Opportunities
• Funding– Longer term more funds from Consortium based
on greater outcomes, visibility, and opportunities from recognition of contribution to Agricultural growth
– More opportunities for funds
Future Opportunities
• Full cost recovery– Better service and support– Greater equity for access– Transparency for costing– Upgrading of facilities and services from funds
generated through use– Science Park and other shared users
2011
• Caution and prudence– Cost implication of decisions– Focus on priorities– Invest in completing, reporting, learning from past,
resource mobilization, and strengthening new areas (IP management and Gender Mainstreaming)
– Invest into adaptation
