Priorities
-
Full report. This report describes the work of the ExCo Ad
Hoc Committee on Funding System Priorities (AHC) since its formal
establishment in May 2006. It largely focuses on the AHC's core
task of developing options for funding the CGIAR system priorities
(SPs) and develops a story line based on extensive consultation
with CGIAR stakeholders. A
possible funding mechanism is proposed that takes into account
pilot studies of selected
SPs, the first set of Framework Plans (FPs) as well as feedback of
the CGIAR Members'
Coordination Forum at AGM06. Terms of reference of the committee
are included in the report. The committee was chaired by Jonathan
Wadsworth.

Task Force on Funding System Priorities Coordinated Action by CGIAR
Members : Final Report for the Annual General Meeting
2005
.
At AGM2004, Denmark initiated a discussion on the topic of
funding CGIAR priorities and proposed that a task force be
commissioned to examine the possibility of developing a mechanism
to allocate unrestricted funds in the context of the priorities
recommended by the Science Council (SC). The Terms of reference for
the task force were approved in March 2005 with objectives: 1) To
assess and evaluate opportunities for financing System Priorities
and, separately, for financing the SC and its Secretariat; and 2)
To propose one or more new financing mechanisms in support of CGIAR
priorities recommended by the SC. This report looks at funding
trends, funding system priorities, a proposed "way
forward", several funding mechanism options, and
recommendations. It contains the following annexes: the task force
terms of reference, the trends in financing the CGIAR, and the
summary of donor survey to explore changing restricted funding to
unrestricted. The task force was led by Finn Norman Christensen
from Denmark. This document was discussed at the Business Meeting
at AGM2005.

A Strategic Framework for Engagement between the CGIAR and Civil
Society Organizations: the CGIAR Perspective. Paper
prepared in May 2006 by the CGIAR Secretariat. Within the CGIAR
membership and leadership there is wide agreement that the CGIAR
has to reconsider its relationship with civil society for enhancing
research effectiveness by taking into account globalization,
changing trends in civic formation, a new understanding and best
practices in partnering with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) -
meaning the non-profit sector, including NGOs, farmer
organizations, advocacy groups, universities and advanced research
institutions. The CGIAR NGO Committee, a mechanism used in the past
for engaging with civil society on the global level, has been
dormant since 2002, leaving a vacuum to be filled. At System level
therefore, CGIARCSO linkages require review and action. This paper
is meant to support that process.

Independent Evaluation of the Partnership Committees of the CGIAR.
Keith Bezanson. 2004.
This study was undertaken as part of
the CGIAR reform program, part of which was aimed at streamlining
System governance. The CGIAR Annual General Meeting 2002 agreed to
commission an independent, external review of both the Non
Governmental Organization Committee (NGOC) and the Private Sector
Committee (PSC). The terms of reference for the study asks two
questions: 1) how successful have the Committees been in achieving
their mission? and 2) are there alternative ways in which the CGIAR
could achieve the Committees' mission more efficiently? The
evaluation recognized that the two committee experiment in
partnerships was generally disappointing to all parties but it
nevertheless wishes to underscore the importance of persevering
with the experiment. The report underlines the importance for
strong relationships between the CGIAR system and international
Civil Society as well as the relationship between the CGIAR system
and the international private sector. The report was discussed at
the 6th Executive Council Meeting of the CGIAR, in May 2004,
Montpellier, France. It was also discussed at the Stakeholders
Meeting at AGM2004.

CGIAR and NARS partner research in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence of
impact to date. Mywish K.Maredia and D. Raizer. October 2006.
This study follows the meta-analysis process, and adopts the
same general objectives that guided the meta-analysis of overall
CGIAR costs and benefits by Raitzer (2003). The study is a form of
break-even analysis that asks the question, "Can the benefits
estimated in the limited number of credible impact assessments
available to date justify the entire expenditure of the CGIAR in
SSA?" If the answer is negative but benefits remain
unquantified, there is a need to search for additional credible
evidence of benefits. If the answer is positive, there is less need
to search for additional evidence of benefits from an
accountability perspective, but there is still a need for more
assessments to be made across the full range of research and
research-related activities to help inform future
priorities.
