Abstract

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.
