    Research quality plus (RQ+) 2023 : formative evaluation exercise
    (2023-07-21) Ruiz, Manuel Acevedo
    IDRC's first core objective under Strategy 2030 is to "invest in high-quality research and innovation in developing countries". To understand progress on this objective, the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework for Strategy 2030 includes periodic Centre-wide RQ+ assessments. The RQ+ 2023 formative evaluation is the first in this cycle. It is expected to provide: 1. Early indications of progress against the strategy, 2. Insights on areas for course correction at the Centre level, and 3. Findings relevant to ongoing programming priorities. There are two main users of the evaluation: 1. For IDRC Management to understand strategy progress for corporate reporting and to inform any necessary course corrections, and for IDRC programs to gain high-level insights on overall research quality in programs and to inform program improvement.

    Stories of change
    (AfricaAdapt, Dakar, SN, 2011-05) AfricaAdapt
    Stories of Change come from participants of Meet and Greet events and the AfricaAdapt Symposium, and Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA)/ PAR (participatory action) researchers. Interviews and stories represent different districts and include male and female participants from local and regional organizations and groups. From one women’s group participant interview: "The performance on climate change awareness and environmental management has been very successful. We have excelled across the district. We are always invited to perform at functions organized at the district level where high-ranking officials are present. This has given our group and AfricaAdapt wide visibility."

    Tales of AfricaAdapt : harnessing knowledge for adaptation to climate change in Africa
    (AfricaAdapt, Dakar, SN, 2011) AfricaAdapt
    This newsletter introduces the AfricaAdapt network and presents current achievements with plans moving beyond 2012. It showcases three stories about how the network has helped local communities to become more aware of, and prepare for the impacts of climate change on their livelihoods. These activities were funded through the network’s Knowledge Sharing Innovation Fund. The network aims at facilitating the flow of knowledge on adaptation to climate change for sustainable livelihoods among researchers, policy makers, civil-society organisations and vulnerable communities.

    Toolkit for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation of Climate Change Adaptive Capacities: Handbook and User Guide
    (2011) Faye, Aliou; N’Djafa Ouaga, Hubert
    Tools are needed that can enable development practitioners, researchers and vulnerable populations to validate and integrate adaptation options. The purpose of this document is to harmonize existing tools as a practical toolkit that enhances identification of climate change adaptive capacities; supports planning actions within projects and programs; and can monitor and evaluate a program’s contribution to strengthening adaptive capacities. The tools presented here have been selected and tested in six countries: Burkina Faso; Ghana; Kenya; Mali; Niger, and Senegal. Five modules comprising 11 tools cover the various steps for considering adaptive capacities in projects and programs.

    Final report on CCAA Outcome Mapping Workshop (September 10-14, 2007)
    (IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) Kelpin, Kevin
    The Outcome Mapping (OM) process assists in project monitoring, evaluation, and tracking achievement of outcomes. Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Program (CCAA) education and training activities are delivered through workshops, hands-on training awards and Fellowships. One of the CCAA training activities is “Training on Research Project Management.” As part of this specific training activity, the consultant facilitated a workshop on the monitoring and evaluation methodology, Outcome Mapping. Partner organization team members worked together in groups to produce an OM framework specific to the their CCAA supported project.
