OAR@ICRISATLinkages among measurable Criteria and Sensitivity analysis for Research Priority Setting: Learning from the experiences of ICRISATM C SBantilanauthorThe 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.......Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics2000National Center for Agricultural Economics and Policy Research and International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid TropicsBook Section
