        abstract = {The research priority-setting exercise conducted by the International Crops Research Institute for the
Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in the early 1990s was driven by a determination to build an objective
and transparent basis for its medium term plan (MTP) for 1994-1998 (ICRISAT, 1992). Like other
members of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), it faced the
challenge of a changing external environment where funds for research were declining, and therefore,
a pursuit of a focused research agenda was imperative. This change motivated stronger
accountability and a search for an objective research priority setting and resource allocation process.
Significantly, it prompted awareness among scientists and research managers about the impact and
payoff of research.......}
