| Name | The role of evaluation in successful integrated natural resource management |
| Description | Twomlow S; Lilja N. 4th International Crop Science Congress “New Directions for a Diverse Planet,” 26 September to 1 October 2004, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.Evaluating the impacts of NRM research is essential to understand its contribution to increasing agricultural productivity and sustainability, reducing vulnerability, and ultimately alleviating poverty. A proper evaluation helps judge merit or worth, improve programs and generate knowledge. One indicator of a constructive evaluation is that it promotes learning and that the results are used to guide change. This paper suggests that a key to successful evaluation in NRM is in the mindset of the researcher. We discuss the contribution of four factors to a reflective learning process that is necessary in integrated NRM. They are: stakeholder participation, systems approach to evaluation, timing of the evaluation and an iterative approach to investigation. |
