EVD659: Evaluation of DFID Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy 1995-2005

The goals of the Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy (RNRRS) for 1995-2005 were the alleviation of poverty, the promotion of economic growth and the mitigation of environmental problems.  The strategy aimed to achieve economical and environmentally sustainable enhancement of productive capacity in the renewable natural resources sectors through contracted out management of competitive research funds.

This evaluation is an objective assessment of the extent to which the programmes have delivered the agreed outputs of the strategy, the identification of components which have made, or have strong potential to make an impact on poverty, and the lessons from programme and project cycle management.  Three aspects have been evaluated: quality of science, impact or potential impact on poverty, and quality of management.
