N2  - As the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) goes beyond the goal of increasing food production to the broader goal of reducing poverty, both agricultural research and studies of its impact become more complex. The Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) has commissioned a multi-country study of the impact of agricultural research on poverty, led by International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) with the participation of several other centers. The studies use an expanded definition of poverty that goes beyond income or nutrition-based head counts, to consider other aspects of well-being and empowerment. The Sustainable Livelihoods framework provides a common conceptual approach to examining the ways in which agricultural research and technologies fit into the livelihood strategies of households with different types of assets and wealth, and the types of outcomes for reducing poverty and vulnerability. Applying this framework requires interdisciplinary research and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. This paper reports on the conceptual framework, methods, and findings to date of these studies. The first paper provides an overview of the approach, followed by more detailed methods and results from three of the case studies: two in Bangladesh and one in Mexico
