Collaborative adaptation research initiative in Africa and Asia : summative evaluation

Abstract

Between 2014 and 2018, the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) delivered over 600 research outputs, ranging from data products to blog posts and conference papers, including 62 papers published in peer-reviewed journals. Applying the Research Quality Plus (RQ+) evaluation method to selected themes, the evaluation report concludes that the overall RQ+ rating for CARIAA is very good. The dimensions were assessed from Good on “Legitimacy and Positioning for use” to Very Good on “Integrity and Importance/relevance.” CARIAA has contributed to development of over 20 local and or national plans and strategies, and to evidence-based policies in 11 countries.
