Scaling of innovations is a key requirement for addressing societal challenges in sectors such as health, agriculture, and the environment. Research development (R4D) programs, projects other interventions struggle to make particular go scale. Current conceptualizations scaling are often too simplistic; more systemic multidimensional perspectives, frameworks measures needed. There gap between new complexity-aware theories perspectives on innovation, tools approaches that can improve...
Multi-stakeholder platforms have become mainstream in projects, programmes and policy interventions aiming to improve innovation livelihoods systems, i.e. research for development low- middle-income contexts. However, the evidence multi-stakeholder platforms' contribution performance of their added value is not compelling. This paper focuses on stakeholder participation as one channels interventions, participation. It uses a quantitative approach utilizes descriptive statistics ARIMA models....
This paper develops a novel approach called Outcome Trajectory Evaluation (OTE) in response to the long-causal-chain problem confronting evaluation of research for development (R4D) projects. OTE strives tackle four issues resulting from common practice evaluating R4D projects based on theory change developed at start. The was iteratively while conducting evaluations policy-related outcomes claimed by CGIAR, global organization. first step is use middle-range (MRT), “grand” social science...
Abstract Influencing policy is an important scaling mechanism. However, if a program to plausibly claim that it has or can influence policy, needs explain how. This not straightforward because of the complex nature change. Scholars suggest use theory help answer ‘how’ question. In this article, we show how, in practice, middle-range change theory—Kingdon’s Policy Window theory—helped us model workings four outcome trajectories produced agricultural outcomes cases. By providing common...
