Shaping the CGIAR's Future

As agreed at MTM98, TAC has prepared a proposal for a logical framework to identify data essential for the evaluation needs of the CGIAR and to develop best practice guidelines. It will be discussed, in parallel session, under agenda item 4 - CGIAR Research Agenda.

The proposal will be introduced by the TAC Chair. He will also convey the Committee's recommendations on next steps for making the framework operational. At the conclusion of the discussion, the session chair will summarise the decisions reached.
