1. Impact at Scale

2. Interlinked and interactive FPs in RTB

3. CC5.1: Foresight and impact assessment
Enhance RTB impact by guiding current and future investments of donors, policymakers, researchers, and other practitioners on major opportunities and threats for RTB innovations at crop and systems levels

4. Specific objectives are to
Enhance the impact of the RTB program through systematic foresight and strategic ex ante assessment and ex post impact assessments
Contribute to enable equitable scaling of RTB innovations among smallholders and other stakeholders in RTB value chains
Support the establishment of sustainable delivery mechanisms that allow for continuous improvement in terms of capacity to innovate, adaptation and dissemination of innovations

8. Results- based management strategy for RTB
Purpose
improve program performance;
strengthen a results-oriented culture for the planning, managing and assessment of research for development interventions;
support adaptive management, organizational learning and informed decision-mmaking at all levels;
promote greater accountability, transparency and value for money.

9. Implementation within RTB
RTB and flagship theories of change and impact pathways developed using a bottom-up approach.
 To stress the centrality of strong alliances with stakeholders, RTB started the development of ToCs at the cluster level involving cluster teams and partners. These results were then consolidated at the higher levels
The set of nested ToCs and impact pathways serve as the CRP's hypotheses of the way change is expected to occur from output to outcome and impact. They constitute the backbone of the RTB’s RBM framework.
