Abstract
IDRC's Acacia (Communities and the Information Society) program has chosen to invest a significant part of its budget in thematic networks. This grant will allow a team of senior international evaluators, in collaboration with IDRC's Evaluation Unit, to assess the effectiveness of the networking modality for achieving Acacia's goals, and to document and disseminate the lessons learned. The evaluators will endeavor to determine whether - and if so how - network-driven projects deliver the anticipated added value in terms of mentoring, peer-to-peer capacity building, transdisciplinarity, resource diversification, quality and impact. The primary users of the results will be the Acacia team and its partners, but the results will be shared with IDRC and made available in the public domain.
