Institutionalizing Impact Orientation: Building a Performance Management Approach that Enhances the Impact Orientation of Research Organizations
D R SMITH with A SUTHERLAND

This book documents the process, results and lessons from a project that introduced performance management concepts, and built performance management capacity, in a pilot group of agricultural research organizations. 'Institutionalizing Impact Orientation' responds to concerns within public-sector agencies about how to demonstrate their achievements against a background of broad-based public policy reforms. The project on which the book is based was the first phase of a larger initiative to develop and implement effective performance management systems in public research institutions. Two organizations in Ghana, the Crops Research Institute and the Food Research Institute, and the National Banana Research Programme in Uganda, participated with NRI in the project.
