dc.titleSystems Transformation and Multiple Pathways: Learning on CGIAR’s Ways of Workingen
dcterms.abstractThis summary of learning, prepared under the System Council–endorsed Multi-Year Evaluation Plan (MYEP), synthesizes evidence on two of CGIAR’s Ways of Working (WoWs) identified in the CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy as priority approaches for CGIAR to do business differently, namely: • Embracing a systems transformation approach, seeking multiple benefits across five Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-linked Impact Areas; and • Generating scientific evidence on multiple transformation pathways that are appropriate to different contexts. The study examines CGIAR’s progress toward integrated, systems-oriented research. Drawing on IAES Evaluation Function evaluations, Independent Science for Development Council (ISDC) and CGIAR Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) sources, 2025–30 Portfolio inception reports, external literature, and field evidence from the Republic of Uganda, the report synthesizes progress, challenges, and opportunities in implementing the WoWs. Overall, the summary found that CGIAR is moving toward a more integrated and locally grounded model of food systems transformation. Lasting progress will depend on institutional alignment, sustained funding, and empowered partnerships that bridge scaling and systems change.en
