Performance Indicators - 2005


Home > Year in Review > Performance 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 achievements for 2005 in 3 key areas: publication outputs, gender and diversity, and training:
