Abstract

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.
