CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry - Plan of Work and Budget 2020

There were no significant changes in 2019 to FTA’s theory of change1. FTA plans all its work on the basis of its operational priorities. These, in turn, focusresearch towards major development demands and knowledge gaps, orienting FTA towards the implementation of the SDGs and other global commitments. Three operational priorities were added in 2020 (see list in Appendix 1) to better delineate pre-existing research areas addressing development bottlenecks needing dedicated investment and visibility: smallholder tree-crop commodities, tree seeds and seedlings delivery systems, and foresight. FTA organized in 2019, at the request of its ISC, a joint ISC-FTA workshop on impact assessment methods for the program. Based on the outcomes of this workshop FTA will, inter alia, revisit in 2020 its impact pathways and end of programme outcomes, and if need be, corresponding adjustments to the ToC of FTA and/or of its FPs will be made

FTA work planning is based on a priority setting process, aiming at focusing research towards major development demands and knowledge gaps, orienting FTA towards the implementation of the SDGs and other global commitments. The 22 operational priorities of FTA, as elaborated for the 2018 POWB (see list in Annex 1) build on the comparative advantages of FTA and its partners in order to maximize effectiveness and impact

Diagnostic tool for collaborative monitoring of forest landscape restoration

The diagnostic was presented to representatives from CFLRP projects. After receiving a completed diagnostic from one of the collaboratives, the USFS instructed to postpone all non-essential activities due to the extremely active 2020 wildfire season and the constraints posed by the COVID pandemic
