Douthwaite, Boru (2020). Development of a cassava seed certification system in Rwanda: Evaluation of CGIAR contributions to a policy outcome trajectory. International Potato Center: Lima, Peru.

The purpose of this case study is to generate evidence and lessons learned on the contributions of CGIAR in stimulating policy changes that created an enabling environment for agri-food systems innovation. The objectives are: 1. To determine and document how and in what ways CGIAR interventions contributed to the development of a cassava seed certification system in Rwanda; 2. To identify other major actions/factors that contributed to the cassava seed certification system trajectory; 3. To generate findings to strengthen CGIAR contributions to the cassava seed certification system trajectory; 4. To contribute to a synthesis document that compares and contrasts the ways in which CGIAR actions have influenced policy in four cases.
