Industry and RD&E performance is captured.

The capacity to be able to rigorously capture, measure and report on performance is becoming more important. From an organisational perspective, stakeholders are interested in being able to quantify the impact of their investments and see clear change as a result. Similarly industry is also required to demonstrate its performance to government, community and customers. The focus of the Monitoring and Evaluation theme is to ensure that at both an organisational and industry level there is the capacity and systems in place to actively capture, monitor and report performance.

We will achieve this by:

  • Developing and implementing an internal monitoring and evaluation framework for evaluating CRDC’s investment portfolio balance and it’s RD&E performance.
  • Conducting annual industry surveys to capture practice change.
  • Establishing a framework through which industry performance can be nationally and internationally reported.

Measures of Success:

  • A rigorous monitoring and evaluation platform which measures and reports on the performance of CRDC’s research and development investments.
  • An industry performance monitoring and evaluation framework that is consistent with national and international standards.
  • Providing the industry with cotton sustainability indicators and supporting its capacity to report against these indicators.
