Thank you for initiating such an enriching discussion. The insights shared resonate deeply with my current doctoral research, where I am exploring how evaluation results are utilized within agricultural R&D contexts. My focus lies in understanding how evidence from evaluations can guide agricultural R&D institutions towards greater impact.
I would like to contribute to this discussion by emphasizing the role of the evaluator as a key component in the process of utilizing evaluation results. The concept of the evaluator as a Knowledge Broker is particularly relevant, linking directly to the importance of starting evaluations with the utilization premise in mind. However, this alone is not sufficient; institutional engagement and strategic thinking about evaluations, integrated within the organizational context, are also crucial.
I have been working on some publications on this topic and am currently writing about a framework I've developed called AgroRadarEval. This framework incorporates eight dimensions and various variables derived from literature and qualitative data collection, aimed at maximizing the impact of agricultural R&D actions regarding the use of evaluation's results. For those interested in knowing more about AgroRadarEval, please visit: https://bit.ly/agroradareval_en. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or interaction on this framework.
This topic holds great interest for me, and I am keen to discuss it further in other venues and formats. Please feel free to contact me anytime as I am eager to contribute to and learn from ongoing dialogues in this field.
