Report of the IAI Directorate

The IAI Directorate report proposes consolidating a planned 25th anniversary publication with a special issue in a peer-reviewed scientific journal to highlight the IAI's achievements and the results of its Collaborative Research Networks (CRN).

• The IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Conference of the Parties (CoP) initially discussed and directed the creation of a 25th anniversary publication, though the SAC noted that funding for this activity was not available as of June 11, 2017.
• An internal analysis by the IAI Directorate concluded that a standalone 25th anniversary publication for the general public would require significant effort without guaranteed benefits or a well-defined message, and would fail to report on critical focus areas such as CRN3 results, the upcoming CRN4, the Small Grants Program, capacity building, fund-raising, and public awareness.
• The IAI Directorate recommends consolidating the 25th anniversary publication and the proposed special issue in a peer-reviewed journal into a single combined publication. This combined effort aims to raise public and scientific awareness of the IAI, provide a resource for policy makers, and archive IAI activities, specifically focusing on scholarly analysis of CRN project results.
• A draft plan for a special issue of a peer-reviewed policy or development journal was discussed at the Collaborative Research Network (CRN3) researchers meeting in Cancun, Mexico, from November 29 to December 1, 2017. The proposed publication would use a competitive call for paper selection and has an expected publication timeline of 12 to 18 months.
