Abstract

This study was commissioned by the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA). CARIAA is funding research consortia—groupings of 5 partner organizations with expertise in climate and development research, policy or practice to participate in the design and delivery of a common research program for climate change hotspots. While research consortia differ in their objectives and contexts, insights from this study can inform overall design and management of research, under themes of knowledge co-creation, collaboration, and oversight of partnerships. Defining indicators to monitor complex programs is a major challenge for boundary-spanning research consortia.
