Abstract

As part of support the evidence-based decision-making, the main effort of this team is to ensure that integrity, quality, and value of research is appropriately managed at the cluster level. It also strengthens the culture of results-based project monitoring and evaluation (M&E) by ensuring the reporting of high-quality information products, based on the legal agreements is applied to AICCRA through the MIS reporting system called Managing Agricultural Research for Learning and Outcomes (MARLO). MARLO is an online platform assisting the AICCRA project in its strategic results-based program planning and reporting of research clusters. It covers the cluster cycle from planning to reporting and learning. Reports generated by the system support outcome-focused programmatic reporting with additional synthesis at the flagship and cross-cutting levels.
