RE: How to evaluate science, technology and innovation in a R4D context? New guidelines offer some solutions | Eval Forward

I think the guidelines are a set of recommendations for evaluating projects or organisations. If CGIAR wants to help roll them out, they could perhaps promote them to their community and the organisations they support.

  • They could also organise training sessions to help people understand how to apply the guidelines in their day-to-day work.
  • They could create online resources, such as videos or guides, to help people better understand the guidelines and how to apply them.
  • They could also work with partners to develop tools and methodologies for evaluating projects or organisations using the guidelines
  • These events could also be used as a platform to share examples of projects or organisations that have successfully applied the guidelines and to discuss lessons learned.
  • They could work with partners to develop mentoring programmes to help organisations apply the guidelines and improve over time.
  • Finally, they could organise events to promote the guidelines and create opportunities for stakeholders to meet and exchange ideas on how to apply them in their work.

 

As an agricultural technician with a lot of experience I would suggest helping or setting up resource people who will be able to explain the guidelines to stakeholders and answer their questions. You could also contribute to the creation of resources to help people better understand the guidelines and their application. You could propose that the CGIAR work with other organisations to develop tools and methodologies for assessing projects or organisations using the guidelines. You could also propose that the CGIAR organises events to promote the guidelines and create opportunities for stakeholders to meet and exchange ideas on how to apply them in their work.
