Impact Assessments
Impact Assessment: Evaluation Briefs and Discussion Papers
In addition to Centre-Commissioned External reviews and External Programme Management Reviews, Bioversity also conducts in-depth evaluations and impact assessments of its major areas of work. These special studies are published as Impact Assessment and Evaluation Discussion Papers and summarised as Briefs. The purpose of the discussion papers is to stimulate discussion about Bioversity's work and its impacts.
All are subjected to internal review but most have not been subjected to external peer review. The papers present work and thinking in progress. Many of the discussion papers will be eventually peer reviewed and published, at which time their content may also be revised.
