Investing in partnerships and capacity for impact

| description | The core of the CCAFS theory of
change for achieving impact is
centred on “partnerships” and
“capacity”. Without a heavy focus
on these, achieving impact at
scale is not feasible. Vermeulen
and Campbell (2015) propose
principles for agricultural research
for development (AR4D), one of
which is “Allocate resources in
three thirds – needs, research,
capacity” – an effective AR4D
program invests a third of
resources in working with next
users to build relationships and to
define their needs from research, a
third on research itself (often with
partners), and a third on enhancing
next users’ capacity so as to
improve the uptake of the research.
Another principle is “Invest in, and
monitor, capacity enhancement”:
an effective AR4D program
supports next users, as well as
research partners, to enhance their
capacities to ask better questions
of science, achieve associated
development outcomes, and adapt
to new knowledge. |
