dc.description.abstractThe evaluation develops guiding principles to inform future devolution practices: 1) Plan Early 2) Build Capacity 3) Collaborate and Partner 4) Develop a Transition Strategy 5) Assure Continuity 6) Build Good Governance and Management Frameworks, and 7) Demonstrate Return on Investment and Secure Funding. Beginning in 1992, international secretariats were created by IDRC as a modality for incubating innovative research ideas funded by multiple donors. Although “housed” in IDRC, they were expected to operate semi-autonomously. Based on the rationale for devolution, geographical location, perceived degree of success, donor makeup, and post devolution longevity, a sample of seven secretariats was selected for study.en
