    Funding modalities for organizational strengthening in research for development
    (2022-04-29) Sutton, Shannon; Etherington, Amy; Price-Kelly, Hayley
    Funding modalities that enable organizational strengthening typically include core funding, flexible research grants and strategic organizational development (OD) support programs. These modalities have demonstrated contributions to higher-quality research, better positioning for use, networking and partnerships, while facilitating internal learning processes. This policy brief covers how to fund for organizational strengthening. Feedback from two IDRC evaluations suggested for instance, that tailored support from program officers emerged as a more important factor for effectiveness than the provision of support for any specific length of time.

    Integrating organizational strengthening into program design : key questions for consideration
    (2022-04-29) Sutton, Shannon; Etherington, Amy; Price-Kelly, Hayley
    While the provision of effective funding support typically requires a fluid, tailored partnership rather than a formulaic approach, patterns emerge around the types of questions that funders can ask themselves. This brief uses the “Evaluation of IDRC’s Contribution to Building Leading Organizations” to share lessons on how to incorporate organizational strengthening. It suggests questions to consider in program design and implementation, with the aim of informing how research for development (R4D) funders can foster leading organizations and networks.

    Strengthening leadership : lessons from research leaders of today and tomorrow
    (2022-04-29) Sutton, Shannon; Etherington, Amy; Price-Kelly, Hayley
    The evaluation assesses leadership strengthening in IDRC-funded award programs with the aim of understanding how best to support graduate students and early career researchers. It identifies some of the key features regarding good research for development (R4D) leadership, such as expertise in the field, and some lesser-known qualities including the capacity to inspire and empower others through collaborative approaches. Funders can draw lessons from this research, given how alumni in the Global South understand the strengths of good R4D leaders. They can support R4D leadership through individual awards programs and research grants.

    Who are the leaders of tomorrow? : addressing gender equality and inclusion in leadership
    (2022-04-29) Sutton, Shannon; Etherington, Amy; Price-Kelly, Hayley
    Funders have a key role to play in ensuring that gender and inclusion considerations form part of selection criteria, team composition, project design, implementation and engagement. This brief explores how to address gender equality and inclusion in supporting research for development (R4D) leaders at both individual and organizational levels. This requires an understanding of who has traditionally participated in the field, which groups are underrepresented and the challenges marginalized groups may face. Explicit strategies are needed to support a diversity of emerging leaders, as well as target setting for engaging researchers from marginalized backgrounds.

    IDRC’s contributions to building emerging research for development leaders
    (Institute of International Education, 2019-07) Kallick, Judith; Nemeth, Nora; Martel, Mirka
    The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) commissioned the Institute of International Education (IIE) to carry out a comprehensive evaluation to inform its second strategic objective—Building the Leaders for Today and Tomorrow—and to evaluate IDRC’s investments in strengthening the capacity of graduate students and early career researchers to be leaders in their fields. The purpose of the evaluation was threefold: (1) evaluate the strategies used in IDRC’s programming and analyze how the interventions have contributed to the career pathways of awardees and grantees; (2) assess the effectiveness of IDRC’s award programs and grants, including their considerations on gender and social equity; and (3) identify lessons learned regarding the success of leadership programs.

    Evaluation of IDRC's contribution to building leading organisations final report
    (2018-10) Abitbol, Eric; Rastogi, Archi; Arsenault, Mariane; Rouleau, Esther; Pembleton, Corey; Amery, Hussein
    The International Development Research Centre (IDRC), a Canadian Crown corporation, commissioned this cross-program evaluation to understand if, how and to what extent its strategies and support have contributed to building leading Research-for-Development (R4D) organisations. The evaluation had a threefold intent: a) to identify results and contributions to building leading organisations, b) to assess aspects that demonstrate the contribution and sustainability of these investments, and c) to inform IDRC’s reflections on how to support the building of leading organisations. A set of evaluation questions was agreed upon to reflect these priorities.
