Report of the Task Force on Impact Assessment

Report to MTM95 of a Task Force on Impact Assessment established by the Public Awareness and Resource Mobilization Committee (PARC). This document presents the conclusions of the Task Force to the CGIAR. It draws on the outcome of a workshop organized by the Task Force and held immediately prior to MTM95. Documentation on the workshop is contained in other records.The Task Force endorsed a systemwide impact assessment group to formulate and carry out an ongoing process of impact assessment and performance evaluation for public awareness purposes. Preliminary consideration was given to means of assuring the proposed group's credibility, objectivity, and independence, as well as defining its functions, governance, and relations to the CGIAR as a whole.

Impact Assessment in the CGIAR

Interim commentary and working conclusions of a Task Force on Impact Assessment established by the Public Awareness and Resource Mobilization Committee (PARC). This document was prepared following two meetings of the Task Force, as an input to a workshop it organized on the eve of MTM95.The report provides a summary overview of the need for Systemwide impact assessment, and then comments on five topics: what the IARCs were currently doing; what impacts should be assessed and at what levels; how impact assessment was linked to public awareness and resource mobilization; what systematic process should be developed; and what type of mechanism would best served the needs of the CGIAR for impact assessment. On the last question, the conclusion was that a hierarchy of mechanisms would be needed, and the main burden of impact assessment should remain with the IARCs

Report of the Task Force on Sustainable Agriculture

Report of the Task Force on Sustainable Agriculture established at ICW94 to clarify concepts and priority themes and recommend the role for CGIAR centers in addressing issues relative to sustainable agriculture. The report was presented by Task Force Chair Rudy Rabbinge at the CGIAR Mid Term Meeting in Nairobi, May 1995. This task force was twinned with the Task Force on Ecoregional Approaches to Research which also reported at MTM95.Four key conclusions of the report were that there is no single remedy to problems of sustainability; that CGIAR centers must adjust the way they conduct research toward more collaboration with others; that centers must recognize the individual characteristics of different ecoregions; and that sufficient financial resources should be available to ensure the success of sustainability oriented research. Possible gaps in the CGIAR research agenda were listed. The approach needed to integrate production, environment, and sustainability concerns.Annexes deal with the evolution of CGIAR research, the CGIAR response to Agenda 21, the concept of production ecology, and priority themes for sustainability research. A list of task force members is attached. Agenda document at the CGIAR meeting in May 1995

Defense Conversion Resource Guide

The bipartisan Assembly Task Force on Defense Conversion was created in March 1993. The mission of the 23-member Task Force is to maximize federal defense conversion funding for California and assist communities in the defense conversion process. During the last seven months, Task Force members have worked toward accomplishing this mission through a variety of activities, which include: • Establishing a hotline for assistance on available federal and state grants and other defense conversion-related activities; Conducting regional hearings in the Bay Area and Southern California to identify barriers to federal and state assistance in defense conversion; • Providing the Congressional Task Force on Defense Reinvestment and Economic Development with suggested federal legislation to remove the barriers to defense conversion; • Conducting special hearings on base facility reuse and defense worker retraining opportunities through Task Force working groups (worker retraining, community adjustment, and defense industry adjustment); • Convening workshops on base reuse planning, toxic cleanup, and economic development for California communities affected by scheduled base closures; and •Introducing legislation, which was signed into law, to assist communities in the military base reuse and defense conversion process. The Task Force seeks to further accomplish its mission by providing this Defense Conversion Resource Guide
