The ILAC Initiative aims to increase the contribution of the CGIAR to poverty alleviation by improving planning, monitoring and evaluation of collaborative agricultural research for development. ILAC contributes specifically by:
- Building capacity
- Providing technical support to scientists and managers
- Mobilizing funds and resources
- Facilitating knowledge sharing
- Influencing research and development policies to promote institutional learning and change
A document containing ILAC contributions to Bioversity International, its host, is attached below.

The project entitled "Impact Evaluation Approaches for Collaborative Agricultural Research & Development" aims to improve the evaluation of applied agricultural R&D programs, so as to improve the use of evaluation in R&D decision-making and program improvement. The specific focus of the project is on the contributions of collaborative R&D programs to sustainable poverty reduction.
More on this project will be available once the "Impact Evaluation Portal" is developed.
