Workshop Programme: Performance Indicators for Agricultural Innovation Systems in the ACP Region - Phase 2

Date: 29/05/2009

Introduction:

From June 02 – 04, CTA will convene the 2nd workshop on Performance Indicators for Agricultural Innovation Systems in the ACP Region – Phase 2 to build on the outputs and lessons learned from the 1st workshop to advance the process of developing a generic framework for monitoring and evaluating innovation performance of ACP Agricultural innovation systems. In addition, the workshop will select indicators to measure the contributions of system actors to system performance, especially the S&T/ARD actors.The workshop objectives are:

  1. To review, refine and finalize the generic innovation performance indicators framework for measuring the performance of agricultural innovation systems (AIS) which was developed in the July 2008 workshop.
  2. To select performance indicators for monitoring and evaluating the contribution of S&T/ARD actors to AIS performance.
  3. To design and define a methodology for monitoring and evaluating agricultural innovation system performance and the contribution of S&T/ARD actors to system performance based on selected performance indicators, which can be piloted by ACP organizations using a case study approach.
  4. To formulate a strategy and plan of action including resource mobilization to pilot and test the methodology and capture lessons for further refining the generic innovation performance indicators framework and providing information for ST&I policy and decision-making.
