Need

The investment will see the appointment of a 3rd party provider that will oversee the design and implementation of the key principle/practices that each individual RDC are interested in trialling. Each investor will be expected to nominate a recent project/program or one that is under development to trial. The appointed coordinator will work with each RDC and assist them in initiating the key principles/practices and provide support throughout the duration of the trial process. The coordinator will also collate and record the experiences of each investor and provide the collective knowledge and evaluations of the pilot outputs through a community of practice forum. This forum will provide a coordinated approach to sharing the experience of each and RDC.

Objectives

1. to demonstrate the benefits in program/ project design, delivery, and evaluation and therefore benefits to producers through adoption by funding bodies and delivery partners of the key principles and practical steps developed from Phase 1.
2. Project team members (Researchers and extension practitioners) increased their knowledge, attitude, skill, aspiration and practice (KASAP) in applying the key principles and practical steps developed from Phase 1 to their work which has a positive impact on the delivery of project outputs and beneficial outcomes for producers.
3. Increase in cross RDC collaboration in the areas of Peer to Peer learning, issue identification of common concern and investments.
4. RDC funders have initiated adoption of the key principles and practices from phase 1 into their ways of working.
