| Sumario: | In an ever-changing world, each and every entity must continue to develop and adapt
to its external environment and the demands placed upon it. The PRGA Program
is no exception. In recent years, the CGIAR has encouraged a gradual approach
of learning and change through rolling medium-term plans, but once in a while it
is necessary to step back and take a look at the bigger picture—and adjust course
appropriately. The fi rst full external review of the Program in 2006–2007 and the
upcoming transition from Phase II of the Program to Phase III (2007/2008) afforded
just that opportunity.
The new strategy is a synthesis of discussions that have taken place within the
Program’s Advisory Board over the past few years and the recommendations of
the external review panel. (This new strategic platform was agreed in outline at the
Advisory Board Meeting in February–March 2007.)
The new strategy comprises three thematic areas, and fi ve supporting actions for
mainstreaming gender research. Impact assessment research is built into the strategy
as a cross-cutting activity.
