Abstract
Policy-oriented research (POR) represents an increasing share of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research's (CGIAR's) portfolio. A literature inventory finds 24 studies of the diffusion, influence or impact of this research, of which only three assess impact. There are many influences behind policy formulation, through which research insights permeate, if influential. Hence, attribution and counterfactual difficulties have led many assessments to focus only on analysis of the processes of creating policy influence, rather than also assessing impacts from resulting policy changes. To satisfy CGIAR investor expectations for documented impacts, approaches are proposed for 'demand-led' and 'supply-led' POR case studies.
