Indicators - 2005
The CGIAR Performance Measurement (PM) System was first piloted
in 2004. It has proved beneficial in helping centers like IWMI
to understand their own performance and has also brought in an
increased level of accountability while helping in decision making
for fund allocation.
The indicators fall into two broad categories. The first category
comprises “Indicators of Results”, which cover outputs
- the products of research, outcomes- the external adoption or
influence of research, and impacts- the long range social, environmental
and economic benefits consistent with CGIAR goals and IWMI’s
mission. The second category, “Indicators of Potential to
Perform” measures the quality and relevance of current research,
through peer-reviewed publications, journal references and Science
Council ratings; institutional health measured through governance,
change management, training and gender and diversity achievements;
and lastly, financial health which covers short and long term financial
stability, efficiency of operations and cash management on restricted
operations.
From inception, this performance indicator
system has been continuously refined to better reflect the performance
of centers in the CGIAR system. As a result, some performance indicators
have been dropped and new ones developed and tested. In 2006, a
more comprehensive “Stakeholder
Perceptions Survey” will be piloted covering CGIAR members
as well as other partners and stakeholders.
The following data reflect
IWMI’s

and diversity, and training:
