Evaluation of the IDRC project on Capacity Building in Resource Mobilization

The Capacity Building in Resource Mobilization (CBRM) project helped research institutions to obtain increased funding from donors, diversify their donor base, and become more self-sufficient. The main activities for the evaluation study were: a literature review; development and implementation of questionnaires; attending workshops and meetings; structured interviews by telephone and in person; analysis of data, and preparation of the report. Training tools were developed for pilot workshops conducted in Asia. These were refined for use in training activities in Africa and Latin America. IDRC initiated the CBRM Project in 2003. It was implemented in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East
