Annex 1 Logical framework

In consultation with DFID, the logical framework has been modified this year to better reflect the new focus of the RIU programme. The changes are shown in the table below:

	Logframe at start of reporting period	Current version of logframe (April 2010) Following DFID Annual Review
Goal	To contribute to sustained poverty reduction in countries of Africa and South Asia, where agriculture is important to the livelihoods of the poor (no change)
Purpose	To maximise the poverty reducing impact of RNRRS and other research and, by doing so, significantly increase understanding of how the promotion and widespread use of research can contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth	To significantly contribute to the knowledge of and investment in innovative models that promote and increase the widespread use of technology, thereby contributing to poverty reduction and economic growth
Output 1	Promotion of existing knowledge for the benefit (direct and indirect) of poor men and women in diverse contexts	To introduce and implement experimental models which seek to expand the demand for and use of pro-poor agricultural research and technology
Output 2	Policy and practice frameworks developed	To research the experimental investment models, disseminate findings and, thereby, increase understanding of how to promote and expand use of agricultural research and technology
