Many evaluations do not follow these technical procedures and, especially in the academic world, projects are evaluated by peers or by a group of specialists, in order to reach an evaluation on the importance of the research. When to use specialists and when to use a more sophisticated methodology to prioritize projects is an issue which deserves continuous attention. Organizational Efficiency and Effectiveness Organizations for agricultural research in developing countries have been undergoing problems, such as, low effectiveness, political interference, employers corporativism, few funding resources, dispersion of actions and the lack of staff renovation. An efficient management can largely reduce these problems. An efficient and effective managerial system must have a good system of planning, conducting, monitoring and evaluating its research carefully.
Planning allows linking clients needs and demands to availability of funds.
In its execution, goals will be reached with the highest amount of efficiency possible. Evaluation will allow mistakes to be corrected along the work, services rendered to the financing party and to society, and resources used on the research. The incorporation of private models of management in public organizations may help to increase organizational efficiency. Along with an efficient administration, it is necessary to communicate well all current and potential results to be achieved with agricultural research. Not only with primary clients and rural producers, but also in the scientific community and especially with the urban public which is becoming a majority, even in developing countries.
