Abstract:
The IER (Institut d’Economie Rurale) in Mali, and the DRD (Department of Research and Development) in Tanzania, in collaboration with KIT (Royal Tropical Institute) in the Netherlands developed the Client-Oriented Research Management Approach (CORMA) for the facilitation of this organizational change process. This guide provides tools for the assessment of the level of client-orientation by researchers and other stakeholders of the ARCs (Agricultural Research Centres), which should result in strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis of the ARC and subsequent development of the CORMA action plan and the implementation of management of change activities. The guide is illustrated with many cases and references for the implementation of the CORMA management activities. Tools are also provided for monitoring and evaluation of the change process with references of similar activities and suggested indicators.
