Abstract

Do CCAFS’ climate data and tools contribute to development outcomes?
The production of International PublicGoods (IPGs) – such as high quality, easy to use climate data and tools – is part of CGIAR CCAFS’ delivery promise. With CCAFS’ transition to a results-based management approach there is an increased focus on achieving development outcomes. Hence, resources have to be balanced between i) IPG development, maintenance & support, ii) programs aiming to deliver development
outcomes employing these IPGs, and iii) monitoring and evaluation efforts to assess such programs.
