Conteúdo: | After decades doing sporadic studies on impact assessment and using diversified approaches focused on economic effects, Embrapa is now completing 15 years of an institutionalized system based in a common multidimensional approach measuring economic, social, environmental, political and scientific impacts of its main technologies. Since 2001, Embrapa is monitoring and evaluating more than one hundred technologies and around 200 cultivars originated from its 42 research centers. An impact assessment team, located at the Embrapa Headquarters, by the Secretariat for Management and Institutional Development (SGI), coordinates the system. This central unit is responsible for the analysis and consolidation of the results, and to give feedback to local teams, as to continually improve their analysis. This process is completed with an official and annual publication reporting on the multidimensional impacts, named Embrapa?s Social Report (http://bs.sede.embrapa.br/). The impact studies include the estimation of economic surpluses generated by Embrapa technologies based on field data collected through a private national survey (for cultivars) and by local/regional research teams for surveys regarding the other technologies. Internal rates of return are estimated using benefits and costs data series. To evaluate social and environmental impacts research teams in each center interviews a sample of technology adopters to measure their perception on the innovations? impacts, comparatively to the former technologies or practices replaced. A reference multicriteria method, named Ambitec-Agro, is applied to estimate multiple indices evaluating positive and negative impacts in a set of socioenvironmental indicators. More recently, new impacts are being measured including the contribution of Embrapa to the formulation of public policies and its scientific impact to the advancement of science, measured by the publication of articles on refereed journals, citations and establishment of R&D networks. It is important to note that the development of econometric and other more sophisticated impact assessment analyses continue to be developed at Embrapa?s consultants have developed aggregate impact studies, or specific R&D assessments for especial research areas, such as genetic breeding. This continuous impact system has been extremely important to Embrapa?s institutional sustainability. Certainly, the strong support received by the corporation from Brazilian society is due in large part to this institutionalized consultants have developed aggregate impact studies, or specific R&D assessments for especial research areas, such as genetic breeding. This continuous impact system has been extremely important to Embrapa?s institutional sustainability. Certainly, the strong support received by the corporation from Brazilian society is due in large part to this institutionalized system that shows not only results (outputs), but also their use and application impacts.
