Systems Transformation and Multiple Pathways: Learning on CGIAR’s Ways of Working

The CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy sets the stage for doing business differently to ensure that research provides real solutions for development. To support these changes, CGIAR is committed to following seven new implementation approaches, or Ways of Working (WoWs). This brief summariz...

description The CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy sets the stage for doing business differently to ensure that research provides real solutions for development. To support these changes, CGIAR is committed to following seven new implementation approaches, or Ways of Working (WoWs). This brief summarizes key findings of an evaluative learning report on two of CGIAR’s Way of Working; embracing a systems transformation approach to deliver multiple benefits across five SDG-linked Impact Areas, and; generating scientific evidence on diverse transformation pathways suited to different contexts. It examines CGIAR’s progress toward more integrated, systems-oriented research and innovation. The methodology is based primarily on a structured desk review of internal and external evidence, including The Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service (IAES)-led evaluations; Independent Science for Development Council (ISDC) and Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) reviews, center- and Board-led evaluations, inception reports from the 2025–30 CGIAR Research and Innovation Portfolio, and relevant external literature. The findings indicate that CGIAR is advancing toward a more integrated and locally grounded model of food systems transformation; however, achieving lasting and scalable impact will require stronger institutional alignment, sustained and flexible funding, and empowered partnerships that effectively link systems change with pathways for scaling across the 2025–2030 portfolio and beyond.
