New strategic platform

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.

Summary: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.
