    Constatations en bref - examens externes des programmes : Gouvernance, sécurité et justice (GSJ) et Croissance pour tous (CPT)
    (Division des politiques et évaluation, CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2015) CRDI. Division des politiques et évaluation
    Au CRDI, les examens de programmes constituent un processus en deux volets. Il y a tout d’abord une réflexion par le programme sur ses propres réalisations relativement à trois enjeux : la stratégie et l’évolution, les incidences et les principaux enseignements tirés de l’expérience. Par la suite, un comité d’examen externe formé d’experts indépendants évalue le caractère approprié de la mise en oeuvre du programme, la qualité de la recherche, de même que la pertinence et l’importance des incidences du programme – tout cela en vue de cerner les questions les plus importantes sur lesquelles la direction devrait se pencher. Ensemble, les examens interne et externe facilitent l’apprentissage instrumental et la reddition de comptes.

    Findings brief - external program reviews : Governance, Security and Justice (GSJ) & Supporting Inclusive Growth (SIG)
    (Policy and Evaluation Division, IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2015) IDRC. Policy and Evaluation Division
    External Program Reviews at IDRC are a two-part process. They begin with the program reflecting on its own achievements in terms of three issues: strategy and evolution, outcomes, and the main lessons learned from experience. Following this, an independent and external panel judges the appropriateness of program implementation, the quality of research, and the relevance and significance of program outcomes – all with a view to identifying key issues for management consideration. In combination, the internal and external review facilitate instrumental learning and accountability.

    Supporting Inclusive Growth : final prospectus report
    (Supporting Inclusive Growth Program, IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2014-08) IDRC. Supporting Inclusive Growth Program
    This report was prepared by the International Development Research Centre’s Supporting Inclusive Growth (SIG) program (2011-2016) as part of the program’s external evaluation. The SIG approach emphasized a shift in research focus away from measurements of growth and inequality, to analyzing what drives inclusive growth. The focus was on economic opportunities for marginalized groups, particularly women and youth. SIG support enabled research to provide a better understanding of policies that encourage growth and inclusion simultaneously. Most SIG projects were individually administered projects. Many consist of collaborative and/or comparative research across countries.

    Management response to the external reviews of the Social and Economic Policy programs on Governance, Security and Justice, and Supporting Inclusive Growth
    (IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2015-05) Szabo, Sue; McGurk, Stephen J.
    Management acknowledges the reviewers’ findings that contributions to knowledge from both programs are more evident at the local or regional level, and appreciate that the reviewers articulate the trade-offs between generating knowledge, and policy influence that is locally-grounded but also has global relevance and impact. Management is encouraged that critical masses of findings are emerging on a number of themes, which in turn are generating greater visibility; both reviews address the question of value-for-money, and acknowledge that this presents a significant challenge given the absence of international benchmarks, as well as the varied nature of outcomes sought by the programs.

    External review of the “Supporting Inclusive Growth” Program
    (2015-04) Feinstein, Osvaldo; Sen, Kunal; Squire, Lyn
    The Supporting Inclusive Growth (SIG) Program builds on three previous IDRC programs, Globalization, Growth and Poverty (GGP), Women’s Rights and Citizenship (WRC) and Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D). The purpose of the SIG program is to support research that provides a better understanding of how policy can promote growth and inclusion simultaneously. Of the 27 projects selected for the evaluation, 18 are completed. The external review panel’s assessment of significance can only reflect outcomes and actions to date, and try to point to and support promising trends. The achievements with respect to policy influence are very good.
