6. Key questions for us
What needs to be done?
How are we going to do it?
How much does it cost?
Where can we find the money?
How can we track it and adjust?
7. Strategic assessment of research
priorities for IRRI in Asia, 2010-2013
• Does IRRI’s greatest potential to benefit the poor
– rest in irrigated or rainfed environments?
– arise in South Asia or Southeast Asia?
– stem from genetic improvement or enhanced
management?
– result from upstream science or downstream adaptation
and delivery?
• Approach: compile and integrate state of the art
understanding, data and tools to evaluate 63
potential technology solutions (IRRI role)
D. Raitzer, IRRI
8. Approach
1. Background
analysis (baseline
scenarios, etc.)
2. Analysis of data
on problem
prevalence
3. Characterization
of scientific
solutions
(assumptions,
timeframes,
effectiveness)
4. Estimation of
outcomes and effects
at scale (adoption,
productivity, supply)
5. Partial

difference between
adoption curve and
delayed availability
14. Overall results
• Gains do not exceed yield gaps
– Total increases in Asian rice production by 2035 due
to the 63 technologies analyzed: 6.4% – 10%
– Total increases in Asian rice production by 2035
attributable to international research: 4.0% – 6.3%
• Gains consistent with research contributions assessed
historically in Asia.
• Includes R&D pipeline at various stages, from basic
research to ready to use products.
D. Raitzer, IRRI
21. What can we use it for?
• Transparent, documented methodology and data:
baseline for subsequent assessments (ex, post)
• Easy to update and tailor to various applications:
scenarios, hypotheses,…
• Internalizes impact thinking and culture
• Discover what we know, and what we don’t know:
guidance for filling critical data gaps
• Guidance for research priorities and fundraising:
exposes many trade-offs
23. Can this be done in the CGIAR?
• Robust methodology for a new SRF and the
whole CGIAR portfolio?
• Robust methodology for all CRPs?
• What adaptations would be needed? Who will
do it?
• Monitoring mechanisms?

31. What is an IDO? How are we going to
measure it?
Are we going to measure real or virtual
performance?
Will this inspire and guide us to do
better research?
Will anyone outside the CGIAR
understand all that?

35. 10 Sustainable Development Goals
1. End Extreme Poverty Including Hunger
2. Achieve Development within Planetary Boundaries
3. Ensure Effective Learning for All Children and Youth for Life
and Livelihood
4. Achieve Gender Equality, Social Inclusion, and Human Rights
for All
5. Achieve Health and Wellbeing at All Ages
6. Improve Agricultural Systems and Raise Rural Prosperity

9. Secure Ecosystem Services, Biodiversity and Good
Management of Natural Resources
10. Transform Governance for Sustainable Development
http://unsdsn.org
36. Goal 6: Improve Agriculture Systems and
Raise Rural Prosperity
Targets:
• 6a. Ensure sustainable food production systems that
achieve high yields with high efficiency of water,
nutrients, and energy, and have low food losses and
waste.
• 6b. Halt forest and wetland conversion to agriculture,
protect soil resources, and ensure that farming systems
are resilient to climatic change and disasters.
• 6c. Ensure universal access in rural areas to basic
resources and infrastructure services (land, water,
sanitation, modern energy, transport, mobile and
broadband communication, agricultural inputs, and
advisory services).
37. Target 6a: Sustainable food production
systems
Indicators:
• Cereal yield growth rate (% p.a.)
• Crop yield gap (actual yield as % of yield potential)
• Livestock and fish productivity growth
• Full-chain nitrogen [phosphorus] use efficiency (%)
• Crop water productivity (tons of harvested product per
unit irrigation water)
• …..
• ……
38. Target 6a: Sustainable food production
systems
Aspirational outcomes:
• Annual yield growth rate of major food crops approaches
or exceeds [1.5]%.
• The majority of farms achieve [80]% of the attainable
water-limited yield potential by 2030.
• Livestock productivity in developing countries doubled by
2030, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.
• Full-chain efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus
increased by [x]% relative to current levels in each
country with sub-optimal efficiency.
• Water productivity of crop production increased by [30]%
in countries with high water use for irrigation.
39. The CGIAR should adopt the post-2015
framework and terminology
Post-2015 SD
• SDG
• Targets
• Indicators and metrics
for them
• (specific outcomes)
CGIAR
• SLOs
• IDOs
• Indicators
• …
the timelines for the post-2015 process, a new SRF and a
CRP II portfolio seem to match: 2013-2015
40. Could the CGIAR also step up and - as
a major contribution to the post-2105
agenda - become the world leader in
monitoring the performance of
agriculture in developing countries?
41. Messages
• Embrace the ongoing SDG process and use the
same framework.
• Focus on the unique role of the CGIAR:
outcome-oriented research for SD.
• Do better priority setting at System (SRF) and
CRP level using a uniform, transparent, robust
theory of change and methodology.
• Measure the measurable at critical points along
the R&D pipeline, for faster and greater impact.
• Leave enough room for the unexpected.
