DECISION ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK

In partnership with the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the Technical Consortium is collaborating on the development of a framework to enable decision-makers to model the impact of decisions on resilience outcomes.

The framework will provide the opportunity to:

  • ensure coherent and transparent investment decision-making, based on the evaluation and assessment of multi-level, local-to-transboundary challenges and mutually agreed upon and articulated outcomes,
  • harness development and disaster relief experience and robust scientific evidence, to utilise ex-ante and collectively determined case studies to analyse, test and refine decision-support tools, analytical frameworks and metrics developed by the Technical Consortium and others,
  • assess and prioritise decisions to evaluate potential impact for resilience and growth, and
  • allow scientists within the CGIAR system to test their innovations with respect to sustainable development impact.

It is anticipated that the first site for developing a case study will be in northern Kenya, which will be followed by similar sites in the remaining member states.
