Besides emphasizing different researchobjectives and benefits as revealed in the value propositi<strong>on</strong> analysis, the CRP <strong>on</strong> <strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> generatesimpacts in countries with different partners. Thus the match between inputs and outputs depends types ofbenefits c<strong>on</strong>sidered (e.g., ec<strong>on</strong>omic, nutriti<strong>on</strong>, envir<strong>on</strong>mental) and <strong>on</strong> if countries are c<strong>on</strong>sidered asbenefitting or c<strong>on</strong>tributing to research outcomes. For example, Table 7 reveals a different input-outputassessment where a major partner to the CRP, India, is not c<strong>on</strong>sidered as a benefitting country. In this case,the match between inputs and outputs am<strong>on</strong>gst the PLs is closer in some cases and more distant in others.Table 7.

As the CRP refines its priority-setting methodsand analyses, adjustments to the program will be made in order to improve efficiencies and impacts.Alignment with the priorities of regi<strong>on</strong>s, nati<strong>on</strong>s, farmers and development investors<strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> has c<strong>on</strong>sidered the priorities within the agricultural development agendas of its partnerregi<strong>on</strong>s and countries in establishing the CRP priorities.
