    Management response to the external reviews of the Agriculture and Environment Programs on Ecosystems and Human Health, and Climate Change and Water
    (IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2015-02) Charron, Dominique; McGurk, Stephen J.
    Management recognizes that both programs have already implemented strategies to improve the quality of proposals. Increased attention to research ethics has also been noted in projects approved recently. Management acknowledges the findings by Ecosystems and Human Health review of inadequate recognition of IDRC’s contribution to field-building, in part the result of a deliberate strategy to shift focus to southern leaders and away from IDRC. That said, the book, Ecohealth Research in Practice, is one of the most cited of IDRC’s books and in consequence the Centre’s contribution is increasingly recognized. Management acknowledges the finding of high degree of relevance for both programs.

    Ecohealth prospectus report 2010_2015
    (Ecosystems and Human Health Program, International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2014-06) International Development Research Centre. Ecosystems and Human Health Program
    The report highlights achievements in advancing a growing ecohealth field of knowledge, education and practice, while generating innovative and action-oriented knowledge that benefits poor populations in middle and low income countries. This is the final prospectus report for the Ecosystems and Human Health Program (begun in 1997). Prepared for the External Program Review for 2010-2015, it presents the program’s goal, implementation logic and strategy, main program achievements and outcomes, and lessons learned. The period covers efforts in ‘field building’: agriculture and health linkages, climate change and health, and prevention and control of emerging and re-emerging diseases (EIDs).

    Examens externes des programmes d'Agriculture et environnement : Changements climatiques et eau (CCE) et Écosystèmes et santé humaine (ÉCOSANTÉ); résumé des constatations
    (Politiques, stratégie et évaluation, CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2014) CRDI. Politiques, stratégie et évaluation
    Pour amorcer les examens externes du CRDI, le programme analyse ses propres réalisations dans un rapport descriptif définitif, qui décrit la stratégie et l'évolution du programme, les in-cidences importantes et les principales leçons tirées de l'expérience du programme. Un groupe d'examen externe composé de trois experts indépendants évalue ensuite le caractère approprié de la mise en oeuvre du programme, la qualité des extrants de la recherche ainsi que la pertinence et l'importance des incidences du programme. L'examen externe met éga-lement en évidence certains éléments sur lesquels il y a lieu de se pencher.

    Agriculture and Environment external program reviews : Climate Change and Water (CCW) and, Ecosystems and Human Health (Ecohealth); findings brief
    (Policy, Strategy and Evaluation, IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2014) IDRC. Policy, Strategy and Evaluation
    External Reviews at IDRC begin with the program analyzing its own achievements in a final prospectus report which outlines the program’s strategy and evolution, significant outcomes and the main lessons from the program’s experience. An external review panel consisting of three independent experts then judges the appropriateness of program implementation, the quality of research outputs, and the relevance and significance of program outcomes. The external review also identifies key issues for consideration.

    External review of the IDRC Ecosystems and Human Health (EcoHealth) Program : final report
    (2015-01) Bopp, Michael; Ehrenberg, John; Nugent, Rachel; McMillan, Rebecca
    The IDRC Ecosystems and Human Health Program (EcoHealth) conducted its fourth phase between 2010-2015, completing 18 years of programming regarding the links between environment and human health. While the evaluation considered project examples from across the EcoHealth portfolio, a sub-sample of 25 research projects and 14 research support projects was selected for in-depth review. A large majority (77%) of projects reviewed were rated either as good or very good, a highly commendable outcome for any program but especially one that was focused on shifting leadership to southern researchers. Although productivity of outputs was high, refereed publications were unevenly distributed.
