R.; Slade, RogerAs the International Food Policy Research Institute celebrates its 40th anniversary, it is an appropriate time for the Institute and its key stakeholders to take stock of what is known about its policy influence and impact over the years. Has IFPRI been a worthwhile undertaking? What does available evidence tell us about how IFPRI might achieve even greater policy influence and impact in the future? This brief draws on a forthcoming paper1 that uses external sources of evidence to address these questions, including citations data, external program and management reviews commissioned by CGIAR, and a series of independently conducted impact assessment studies of many of IFPRI’s research programs and projects. While this body of evidence lacks scientific rigor, it does reflect the views of external experts based on careful study of the available evidenceItem Strengthening capacity for research and policymaking(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteReducing hunger and poverty depends on the capacity of researchers and policymakers to understand and use food policy analysis. IFPRI’s approach to capacity strengthening has evolved and expanded to better meet developing country needs through collaborative research, training, and institutional development.Item Social protection by design(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteIFPRI’s evaluations of social protection programs have not only helped show how best to design such interventions but have also contributed to a culture of accountability in social programs worldwide.Item Setting priorities for public spending(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstitutePublic investment in agriculture and in rural areas plays a pivotal role in increasing productivity and reducing poverty. Knowing which investments will have the most impact helps developing countries spend strategically. IFPRI has been a leader in providing this information.Item Putting agriculture at the heart of development in Africa(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteAs Africa has moved toward country ownership and leadership in agricultural development, IFPRI has provided essential data, research, policy analysis, and capacity strengthening. Early research on the links between government policies, agricultural growth, hunger, and poverty laid the foundation for support to continental, regional, and country-level initiatives.Item Partnering for food security in Bangladesh(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteIFPRI’s wide range of partnerships in Bangladesh have influenced the design and operations of large-scale national programs and also provided real-time policy analysis during times of crisis. The country’s commitment to using research to guide policy decisions has helped to foster a culture of evaluation that can truly have an impact on hunger and malnutrition.Item Making agriculture work for nutrition(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteIFPRI’s research has changed the way the international development community thinks about the links between agriculture and nutrition, and highlights the syner¬gies with health, education, gender, and social protection that can improve poor people’s health and nutrition.Item Investing in sustainable agricultural production(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteIFPRI’s work on sustainable agricultural production identifies win-win policies and innovations that limit stress on natural resources, contribute to growth and resilience in agricultural production, and reduce poverty.Item Informing a global agenda for food security(Brochure, 2015-11-06) International Food Policy Research InstituteIFPRI’s active engagement with global policymakers and experts brings international attention to new and emerging issues critical to food security, poverty reduction, and nutrition.Item IFPRI Mobile App(Software, 2015-11-18) International Food Policy Research InstituteThis app is available from the Apple App Store and Android Store.

In the past several decades, many important food policy questions have been answered and challenges have been overcome. Since its founding in 1975, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) itself has been instrumental in producing rigorous, policy-relevant research to improve the lives of hungry and malnourished people. IFPRI helped make the case that agriculture, as a driver of poverty reduction and broadbased economic growth, requires investment. It helped explode the myth that the Green Revolution technologies benefited only large-scale farmers and showed that agricultural growth has powerful spillover effects. It highlighted the role of gender, both in society and within households, in improving food security and nutrition. And IFPRI continues to work closely with countries to support strategies and find on-the-ground policy solutions.
