description The CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy set the stage for ensuring that research provides solutions for development. The strategy was delivered through 33 initiatives grouped within three interlinked action areas: Systems Transformation (ST), Resilient Agri-food Systems, and Genetic Innovation. The ST Science Group (SG) contributes to food, land, and water across CGIAR’s five Impact Areas, supporting policy and decision-makers at multiple governance levels with timely policy-relevant insights. This independent evaluation of the ST SG was carried out under the framework of SG evaluations in response to the Terms of Reference. The evaluation combines summative and formative aspects to support learning and accountability among key users and stakeholders. This evaluation report summarizes findings, conclusions, recommendations and lessons learned from implementing the 12 initiatives under the ST SG from 2022-24. The evaluation also considers the SG's objectives, activities, and management processes with a forward-looking perspective for the next science program portfolio 2025-30. This report evaluates ST initiatives from January 2022 to February 2024, assessing their relevance, quality of science, coherence, efficiency, and effectiveness. The report identifies strengths, such as robust scientific standards, collaborative efforts, and progress in outputs despite resource challenges, and areas needing improvement, including stakeholder engagement, financial management, and strategic alignment. The evaluation provides actionable recommendations to enhance transformative research, interdisciplinary collaboration, partnerships, and the next portfolio's design. By focusing on climate resilience, food systems, and country-level strategies, the report aims to optimize CGIAR's contributions to sustainable development and global impact.
