| Abstract: | Effective socio-economic service delivery is vital for alleviating poverty in developing countries.
Increased financial support without complementary investment in service delivery mechanisms often
results in little or no impact. This paper contributes to the discussion on how to maximize the impact of
agricultural R&D. The case study examined is the South African Beef Profit Partnerships project that is
underpinned by the Continuous Improvement and Innovation process. The evidence is presented using a
‘trident’ evaluation approach: a description and analysis of the process followed; the measurement of the
outcomes achieved (impact); and the perspectives of the stakeholders involved. |
