CIAT Asia is gathering to define its strategy and goals for the next 6 years. It will consider its past achievements, future priorities, and how to operationalize and fund its research goals. Goals and targets will be established based on socioeconomic indicators like poverty and hunger indexes. CIAT Asia will focus on 3 key development issues: livelihood improvement, land degradation, and climate change. It aims to define metrics and processes to monitor progress towards a potential funding goal of $12 million over the next 6 years.

5. What is our approach?
•
•
•
Set the Context: Overview of agricultural and rural development trends, challenges
and perceived needs of the region
Understand the Baseline: Examining CIAT Asia's achievements so far
The Thought Process:
– Establish goals and targets for research impact and resource mobilization (quantitative and
qualitative)
– Map needs of the region to CIAT's research for development expertise
– Prioritize countries and research areas
– Discuss current concept notes and proposals and generate ideas for new concept notes
– Match concept note ideas to calls, donors and partners
– Identify resource requirements (funding, partnerships, skills development, personnel,
monitoring mechanisms)
– Define metrics and processes for monitoring and evaluation
– Establish timelines
•
•
Solicit Feedback: Discuss with key donors/partners
The Next Steps:
– Develop an overall execution and management plan
– Develop a strategy document for communications (?)

6. How do we establish goals and targets?
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That
depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in
Wonderland
