    Ganges theory of change workshop report
    (Report, 2011-11-08) Bayot, Ruvicyn S.; Salahuddin, A.; Douthwaite, Boru
    If research is to have an impact then people must use the outputs, knowledge and insights it generates. This means that researchers and their organizations must link to next users and end users of their research. What a project or program does and who it does with to achieve impact is called its Theory of Change (ToC). Programs with clear and plausible ToC are more likely to be supported, more likely to achieve impact, and easier to monitor. This workshop will introduce participants to Participatory Impact Pathways Analysis (PIPA) as a way of articulating ToC, and using it in program planning and monitoring.

    CPWF publication policies and guidelines: Version 1.2
    (Internal Document, 2011-03-11) Victor, Michael; Brakel, Martin L. van; Bayot, Ruvicyn S.
    The Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) was launched in 2002 as a reform initiative of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The CPWF aims to increase the resilience of social and ecological systems through better water management for food production (crops, fisheries, and livestock). Since 2002, the program has evolved from a range of research projects to an integrated research program that focuses on specific development challenges in six river basins around the world: Andes, Ganges, Limpopo, Mekong, Nile and Volta. Publishing and documenting research is an important part of the research for development process. It is increasingly recognized that interim results can be important for development practitioners and that communication strategies need to be integrated from the beginning of the research process rather than seen as a by-­‐product For this reason, the CPWF strongly encourages the publication of research results, both intermediary and final. It is important to share the CPWF's findings and demonstrate our achievements to our stakeholders, extension agents, donors, policy makers, and other researchers.The guidelines should be seen as a complement to the CPWF Information and Communication Strategy and a range of other guidelines that have been developed including: • Internal knowledge-­‐sharing guidelines; • Identity guidelines (to be developed); and • Working Paper series, notes for contributors. The guidelines are intended for CPWF partners working in projects or in the Topic Working Groups. These policies and guidelines should be seen as a work in progress and will be updated as and when necessary

    CPWF Information and Communication Strategy DRAFT – for comments
    (Internal Document, 2011-03) Victor, Michael; Schuetz, Tonya
    The strategy is meant to provide an overall framework for how we use information and communication within CPWF and help basins, projects and topic working groups plan and develop their own strategies. The Strategy is predicated on the assumption that better investments (resources, financing and thinking) in information and communication will improve impact and effectiveness – and reach-­‐ of CPWF’s research. Communication and information in this strategy encompass a broad range of practices and approaches to bring about positive change. The topic includes: information management, strategic communication, public relations, development communication, advocacy, publishing and knowledge sharing. The strategy works internally and externally since it is recognized that effective internal communication in a research program is a pre-­‐requisite to achieving and ensuring effective external communication.
