Corporate Strategy 2017-2026

Abstract

Greater clarity is provided on ICRAF’s value proposition to the world with four main offers of; (i) evidence and analyses; (ii) social and technical solutions; (iii) fit-for-purpose designs, decisions and delivery; and (iv) stronger capacities and partnerships. As a people-centred institution our four values of professionalism, mutual respect, creativity and inclusion enable us to tailor these offerings to a wide range of clients and beneficiaries in the various countries in which we operate. Capitalizing on past efficiency gains in our business systems and operations, we have devised a leaner institutional organogram which neatly shows the linkages between governance and management with the two main groups of: (i) institutional and resource enablers; and (ii) research and development practitioners. Finally, this Strategy offers a compelling, overarching ICRAF Theory of Change with various impact pathways. This appears alongside our three companion approaches of: (a) theories of change understanding; (b) theories of place; (c) theories of induced change (or intervention success). Underpinning all of this though is sound governance supported by the ICRAF Business Framework as well as Risk Management and Risk Appetite approaches
