This report identifies "milestones" in impact assessment research by the international research centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Milestones are theoretical or methodological research contributions that identify and analyze new areas of impact assessment research and that have been published in refereed publications. The report covers the development of impact assessment research in the CGIAR, charting the progression from assessments of the impact of germplasm adoption and crop management research in the 1970s and 1980s, to formal rate of return and benefit distribution studies in the 1980s, research on spillover and intersectoral impacts in the 1980s and 1990s, and gender and environmental impact assessment research as the 1990s progressed. The role of the CGIAR scientists in this evolution and broadening of scope is documented, as well as the CGIAR's contribution to (and benefits from) impact assessment research in universities and non-CGIAR research centers,The report also highlights the role of impact assessment research in producing a picttlre of solid accomplishments of CGIAR research with respect to poverty, food security, and the environment. The report concludes with comments on future needs for impact assessment research within the CGIAR. An annotated bibliography of CGIAR impact assessment studies follows the report and serves as a useful guide to this significant area of CGIAR research.
