description This summary of learning, prepared under the System Council–endorsed Multi-Year Evaluation Plan (MYEP), synthesizes evidence on one of CGIAR’s Ways of Working (WoWs) identified in the CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy as a priority approach for CGIAR to do business differently, namely: • Harnessing innovative finance to leverage and deliver research through new investment and funding models. The summary examines CGIAR’s progress towards innovative finance and resource mobilization, drawing on IAES Evaluation Function evaluations, Independent Science for Development Council (ISDC) and CGIAR Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) sources, 2025–30 Portfolio inception reports, external literature, field evidence from the Republic of Uganda, and a webinar with key stakeholders. The report presents findings, lessons learned, key evidence gaps, and provides strategic takeaways for CGIAR and partners to gain greater traction in innovative finance. Overall, the summary found that CGIAR has strong scientific credibility, global networks, and technical expertise that can be used to attract and inform innovative finance instruments. Lasting progress will require building institutional capacities and strengthening strategic coherence across centers to translate finance innovation into scalable impact across agri-food systems.
