Description Pursuit of a joint approach to the assessment of research impact is critical for the continuing viability of
national and international research within the global agricultural R&D system. This workshop on "Joint
Impact Assessment of NARS/ICRISAT Technologies for the Semi-Arid Tropics" was organized to achieve
three objectives: a) to report results of case studies on adoption and impact undertaken jointly by teams from
ICRISAT and the national programs; b) to provide a forum for peer review; and c) identify through working
group sessions key issues and priority areas for ICRISAT/NARS research agenda on impact assessment.
The workshop was attended by ICRISAT scientists from all disciplines, by representatives from private
and public sector research institutions, the seed sector, and other international research organizations. These
proceedings include the presentation of case studies featuring research impact in four areas — genetic enhancement
research; resource management options; intermediate products of research; and impact of networks.
That adoption is a condition of impact was noted. The efficiency dimension of impact served as a
starting point in most analyses. Other dimensions of impact include food security, gender equity, sustainability,
human nutrition, employment, and spillover effects. The integration of these dimensions in the research
evaluation process was discussed. Peer review was an important feature of this workshop; it served as a basis
for the discussions on priorities for the future research agenda on impact assessment.
