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.

Impact Evaluation Portal

This portal provides access to a range of resources about tools, methods and approaches to impact evaluation. It has been developed for impact evaluation of collaborative and participatory natural resource management projects, programs, strategies and policies, but many of these can be used in other types of programs.
