byCGIAR Science Council

Abstract

Building on an earlier exploratory study, in 2007–2008 the CGIAR's
Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) undertook an initiative in
collaboration with seven CGIAR centers to augment the evidence of
policy-oriented research (POR) impacts within the CGIAR system and to
further the development of methodologies in this challenging area of
impact assessment. Seven case studies were commissioned. This impact
brief describes the major results that emerged from the International
Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The summary version of the full case
study report can be found in: Kaitibie, S., Omore, A., Rich, K., Salasya,
B., Hooten, N., Mwero, D., and Kristjanson, P. 2008. Policy change in
