It assesses the evolution of program delivery, and highlights how it has adapted to external and internal factors. Current regional development challenges are identifieds: the lack of research visions and strategies; weak research performance and management; financial instabilities, and the absence of an independent and liberal research environment. The report proposes exploration of new paths such as “region-inspired development;” gender equity; and “enabling policy environment for the private sector”.1 digital fileapplication/pdfenRESEARCH PROGRAMMESPROGRAMME EVALUATIONNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTMIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICAREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTGOVERNANCEGENDER RESEARCHPOLICY SCIENCESRESEARCH TO POLICYNORTH OF SAHARAIDRC Evaluation Report
