Definition of research uptake
“The effective utilization of research-based evidence by decision makers to improve
development practice and policy, and donor investments, leading to positive development
outcomes.”
‘Uptake’ is what a decision-maker or other key stakeholder is doing when they modify their attitude, develop knowledge or skills through the research process and based on the outputs of research.
Putting people first..

Why an uptake strategy?
To:
have a clear, targeted impact
demonstration the value, relevance and practical
utility of our research and its outputs
achieve greater success in research-for-development

Foster an uptake culture within IWMI
Strive to strengthen our knowledge of research
user’s needs
Strategically engage and collaborate
Balance uptake for ongoing/new projects vs
completed projects
Package, communicate and disseminate research
outputs
Monitor and evaluate

CGIAR System Level Outcomes and Intermediate Development Outcomes
Four strategic CGIAR System Level Outcomes (SLOs):
Reduced rural poverty
Improved food security
Improved nutrition and health
Sustainably managed natural resources

CGIAR System Level Outcomes and Intermediate Development Outcomes
“Intermediate development outcomes (IDOs) - represent changes that occur in the medium term that are intended to affect positively the welfare of the targeted population or environment, and which result, in part, from research”*
* Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC)

Theories of Change
Outputs - outcomes - impact

Target Audiences
Key question:
Who are the most influential people whose actions are most likely to bring about the change we seek in the most effective away, impacting the greatest number of potential beneficiaries?
