The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR and World Agroforestry (ICRAF) joined forces in 2019, leveraging a combined 65 years’ experience in research on the role of forests and trees in solving critical global challenges.
To support the work of the Priority Themes and Regional Programmes, World Agroforestry maintains two support platforms, namely: Science Quality Platform, comprising aspects of research and data design, knowledge management and geospatial analyses; and Impact Evaluation, Acceleration, Capacity and Learning .
Impact Platform
Our ability to effectively fulfil our mission and, in turn, make a significant contribution towards realizing our vision largely depends on the extent to which the new knowledge and innovations we co-generate with our national and global partners are appropriately used by others including policy makers, the private sector, NGOs, and farmers. ICRAF has put in place a dedicated platform for facilitating this to support, accelerate, and prove the effective and efficient translation of our research efforts into inclusive development outcomes and impacts at the project, programme, and strategic organizational levels.
As a research-for-development organization, we explicitly recognize that our ability to both generate and deliver evidence for development impact necessitates consolidated efforts on a number of fronts.
