| Sumario: | This summary of learning, prepared under the System Council–endorsed Multi-Year Evaluation Plan (MYEP), synthesizes evidence on one of the seven CGIAR’s Ways of Working (WoWs) identified in the CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy as priority approaches for CGIAR to do business differently, namely:
• Making the digital revolution central to our Way of Working.
The study examines how CGIAR is leveraging digital tools to enhance collaboration, innovation, and inclusion across its research programs and initiatives. 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, and field evidence from the Republic of Uganda, the report synthesizes progress, challenges, and opportunities in implementing the WoWs.
Overall, the summary found that CGIAR is advancing toward a more digitally connected and data driven research ecosystem. Sustained investment in capacity, governance, and inclusive partnerships will be critical in ensuring that digital revolution delivers equitable and scalable impact across 2025 – 2030 portfolio and beyond.
