This report evaluates the outputs from the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) on national social accounting matrices (SAMs) and single-country computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. The study aims to identify what policies, programs, strategies, and expenditure decisions were informed by SAMs and single-country CGE models. The report seeks to document what decisions were made based on the contribution of SAM/CGE models’ outputs that effectively shaped policy work or what changes were made because of CGIAR PIM– supported economywide modeling being available to decision makers. Based on the above, the report makes recommendations for CGIAR PIM–supported single economywide modeling work on how to effectively increase decision makers’ use of SAM/CGE outputs.

Deborah Luise Lutz explores support work relationships, the relationships between people with intellectual disabilities in receipt of a personal budget and their support workers. Through the methodology of Institutional Ethnography, she specifically investigates how personal budget policies that organize support work in Germany and Australia influence support work relationships. She found that the policies of personal budgets are connected to people’s views and expectations about the support work relationship and the support work context that influence the relationship. The author argues that disability research, policy and practice need to be cognisant of this interconnection to improve the quality of support work relationships.
