The study was undertaken by a panel of external experts. The study included a survey questionnaire to the CRPs about their planned use of metrics and indicators for CRP- and system-level IDOs, and a workshop with CRP members, selected partners, donors and other CGIAR stakeholders.
The general principles for the strategic study on metrics planned by the ISPC were to: (i) promote the science for improving metrics within CGIAR in a transparent, consistent, reproducible, robust and unifying manner; (ii) ensure that the metric systems adopted are relevant across disciplines and spatial scales to integrate different IDOs (e.g. productivity and human well-being and/or environmental sustainability); (iii) strengthen the community of practice working on metrics appropriate for CGIAR; (iv) identify a set of simple, low-cost metrics and decision tools that can be used for CGIAR’s specific needs; and (v) identify and prioritize new research to fill the gaps and develop the science underlying metrics.
