Management Response to CRP-Commissioned External Evaluation Final Report Management and Action Plan

Abstract

The management team of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Dryland Systems welcomes the opportunity to respond to the CRP-commissioned external evaluation (CCEE) of the program. The CCEE final report (one main report, and one volume of annexes) was presented on October 27, 2015 to the CCEE Oversight Committee, the CRP Director and the IEA. The CRP Director prepared this response to be approved by the Chair of Dryland Systems Independent Steering Committee (ISPC) and the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Lead Centre (ICARDA). The Management Response (the present document) has been prepared through a consultative process involving the ISC, Flagship Projects and Cross-Cutting Themes coordinators, Senior Leaderships of CGIAR Centres and program partners under the guidance of the CRP Director.
