CRP EVALUATIONS: Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM); WHEAT, MAIZE; and Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) - Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations Pre-FC13 workshop 28 April 2015, 8:00 – 12:00 Novotel Hotel, Pangrango Room Background IEA is scheduled to complete 10 CRP evaluations, and provide quality assurance advice to five CRPs set to commission their respective evaluations – resulting in evaluations for the entire CRP portfolio by 2016. The evaluations aim to serve multiple purposes: (1) evaluative input for CRP Management to enhance the work of the CRP, (2) input and information for system wide strategic development and the 2nd call for CRP funding; and (3) establishing a comprehensive set of CRP evaluations in preparation for the system-wide evaluation. In 2015, IEA completed four CRP evaluations: Policies Institutions and Markets (PIM), WHEAT, MAIZE, and Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS); set to be discussed during a preFC13 workshop. Rachel Sauvinet-Bedouin, IEA Head, will introduce the discussion by providing an overview of CRP evaluations, including team profiles, scope, and methodology. This will be followed by one-hour discussions on each of the four evaluations, led by the respective team leaders, on the evaluation main findings and recommendations.
