This document provides the 2023 refocused Plan of Results and Budget (PORB) for the CGIAR Agroecology Initiative following the re-planning process that took place in February to June 2023. This updated 2023 PORB has considered the reflected recommendations, including changes to 2023 budgets, implementation timelines and results to ensure the initiative success. 2 P u r P o s e CGI09-309001-PORB-INIT-31.indd 2 01/09/2023 15:48 Agroecology Center | Consolidated 2023 2024 2025 Implementation Implementation Timeline Budget Timeline WP/Results Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 $ (%) Q1-Q4 Q1 Total Initiative Crosscutting across Work x x x x 43% x Packages Work Package 1-Transdisciplinary co-creation of innovations in x x x x 19% x Agroecological Living Labs (ALLs) Work Package -Evidence-based x x x x 14% x agroecology assessments Work Package 3-Inclusive business models and financing x x x x 7% x 11,035,656 strategies Work Package 4-Strengthening the policy- and institutional- x x x x 8% x enabling environment Work Package 5-Understanding and influencing agency and x x x x 8% x behavior change Innovation packages & Scaling x x 0% Readiness TOTAL x x x x 100% x Crosscutting across Work Packages General EoI Outcome: Contextually- relevant agroecological principles applied by farmers and communities 0% x across a wide range of contexts and supported by other food system actors by 2024 4,797,580 Kick off meeting for initiative launch and detailed annual 0% activity planning Capacity building plan x 0% ellaboration Formation of advisory boards x 0% A g r o e c o lo gy c e n t e r | c o n s o l i d At e d 3 CGI09-309001-PORB-INIT-31.indd 3 01/09/2023 15:48 2023 2024 2025 Implementation Implementation Timeline Budget Timeline WP/Results Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 $ (%) Q1-Q4 Q1 Communication and knowledge 0% management plan MEL plan 0% Monitoring and end-of-year x x x x 14% x learning activities Learning: Systematization of ALLs’ 0% x experiences and practices Ex-ante assessment of the long-term benefits of the implementation of the agreed x x 13% x improved business models (in WP3) to support agroecological transitions Ex-ante assessment of the effect of scaling agroecological innovation in selected countries, on indicators that contribute to 4,797,580 0% x countries international commitments (i.e. NDC and NAPs) and selected SDGs.
