Performance indicators

The Performance Measurement (PM) System of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) measures the performance of the Centres it supports in terms of their results and potential to perform.

This PM System provides the Centres with a method to better understand their own performance and demonstrate accountability. Due to the ongoing changes in the CGIAR Consortium, the Performance Measurement Exercise was not conducted Centre-wide this year. However, ICRAF did collect some information for its own internal use. The results are presented below.
