Abstract
This evaluation assesses IDRC’s West/Central Africa Regional Office (WARO) Council of Regional Advisors, its series of Researcher/Policy Maker Workshops, and its Thematic Discussions, focusing mainly on issues of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and replicability. It concludes that the Regional Council has been successful in fulfilling its objectives of environmental scanning, knowledge creation, capacity building and improving the visibility of IDRC. As well, it has been effective in sensitizing researchers and policy makers to the need for close collaboration in the sustainable use of research results. It has visibly improved regional capacity to analyze research for development problems.
