    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.

    Governance, Security, and Justice (GSJ) Program prospectus report
    (GSJ Program team, IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2014-08) IDRC. GSJ Program team
    The Governance, Security, and Justice program (GSJ) supports creation of policy-relevant knowledge regarding conditions for increasing the legitimacy and accountability of public authorities in the areas of governance, security, and justice. This report describes GSJ’s prospectus implementation strategy, as well as how the program is responding to challenges, opportunities and risks (2011-2016). GSJ-funded research produced important insights on how to increase the legitimacy and accountability of public authorities. GSJ now participates in global and regional policy dialogues on issues of fragility, security, and conflict and has cultivated effective relationships with strategic partners to enhance locally-grounded research in decision making.

    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 : Governance, Security and Justice Program (International Development Research Centre)
    (2015-04) Arthur, Paige; Paterson, Anna; Tschirgi, Necla
    Program funds were allocated equally between the three thematic areas and across the four main regions: Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. This evaluation study looks at ongoing research based on fairly narrow terms of reference. The evaluation covers the prospectus design and implementation; the quality of research; the relevance of program outcomes; and key issues for governance and management. Evidence at the project level shows that that GSJ-funded research has informed policies that are locally grounded and gender aware, and has influenced policy debates and approaches to policy formation.
