Supplementary materials for report “Shining a Brighter Light: Comprehensive Evidence on Adoption and Diffusion of CGIAR-Related Innovations in Ethiopia.” Ann Arbor, MI: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research [distributor], 2021-01-19. https://doi.org/10.3886/E124681V9
The report presents an unprecedented stocktaking of all
CGIAR-related innovations in a given country as well as new estimates of
adoption of those innovations from a nationally representative dataset
generated through a partnership among the Ethiopian Central Statistics Agency
(CSA), the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) team, and the
CGIAR Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA). Ethiopia was chosen for this
exercise because it is a hotspot of CGIAR research, with almost all the CGIAR
centers represented in Addis Ababa.
The report documents the reach of CGIAR-related agricultural
innovations in a comprehensive manner across the core domains of CGIAR research
activity: animal agriculture; crop germplasm improvement; natural resource
management; and policy research. In order to identify the right innovations to
collect data on, SPIA conducted more than 90 interviews with CGIAR research
leaders, scientists, government officials, and colleagues from the Ethiopian
Institute for Agricultural Research (EIAR), all the while compiling documented
evidence to support claims made by these key informants. The output of that
work is a stocktaking of 52 agricultural innovations and 26 claims of policy influence.Quantitative evidence on the adoption of 18 of
these innovations was obtained through the incorporation of measurements of the
reach of these innovations in the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey (ESS), a
regionally and nationally representative panel survey of households. We report some data from the third wave (ESS3, carried out in
2015/16), but our major focus is on ESS4 (2018/19). The 2018/19 ESS (ESS4) datasets can be
