Innovation works
ILRI achieves impact with and through partners, and this area of research focuses on how to develop and implement effective, pro-poor R4D projects with partners. Staff working in this area conduct research and provide strategic support in areas such as project development, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and partnership facilitation.
ILRI’s Innovation Works provides and sources support for all ILRI organizational units and partners. Drawing on specialized resources across ILRI, its partners, and external parties on as as-needed basis, Innovation Works mobilizes cross-cutting teams that take on Challenges that will help ILRI dramatically improve its performance by building its capacity to collaborate, innovate and integrate. This initiative is about mainstreaming important cross-cutting challenges such as linking knowledge with action, assessing outcomes and impacts from diverse perspectives, and addressing equity and sustainability issues up front in our research and outreach work.
