  1. CDD as a mean to build social cohesion Samuel Thirion (Council of Europe)

  2. The case of PLPR in Cape Verde • Conception from lessons drawn in Europe (LEADER program) • Which new lessons to draw from PLPR?

  3. The concept of Social Cohesion • European commission: Social and Economic Cohesion or Territorial Cohesion • Council of Europe 1- Social Cohesion is the capacity of the society at its different levels (community, regional, national, international) to ensure welfare to all its members and to avoid disparities 2- Economic Cohesion is the capacity of the society to produce the necessary resources for social cohesion

  4. Social Cohesion components Welfare of persons Situations participation Equity Dignity Autonomy How the society is organized Actors and actions Trust links feelings common knowledge common values Basic Components

  5. Social cohesion is more than social capital

  6. Social cohesion: a new conception of aid for development From fighting poverty to creation of capacity to fight poverty at every territorial level, which include capacity of the society (community, local, regional, ….) to: • observe together and share objectives • create a consensus on strategy and territorial action plan to fight poverty • apply, manage and monitor the action plan • mobilize and manage new financial resources • draw lessons and improve actions and methods • capitalize and transmit know how  The method is the key question, more than the content of actions itself

  7. Central point of the method: Partnerships • Territorial partnerships: community, micro-region, region, etc. including all representative of society for social cohesion • Vertical partnerships: Trust relationship based on autonomy in exchange of responsibility • Extra-territorial partnerships: Solidarity including exchange of know how, commercialization of products, etc.

  8. International institution (IFAD, others, …) vertical partnership • National territorial partnership: vertical partnership • Regional/local territorial partnership (CRP) vertical partnership • Community territorial partnership (ACD) vertical partnership • Beneficiaries

  9. A- Territorial partnership

  10. B- Vertical partnership: autonomy in exchange of responsibility

  11. Consequences of the principle of autonomy in exchange of responsibility • Global ex-ante evaluation  global contract and global subvention • Ex-ante evaluation more on strategy and method than on actions themselves • A posteriori control • Bottom up and participative monitoring and evaluation • Partnership learning process  Sharing objectives, information, trust based relationship.

  12. C- Extra-territorial partnership • Opening to new ideas, know how, approaches • Creation of links: special interest of decentralized cooperation • Solidarity at international level (global social cohesion) • Links with solidarity economy (solidarity finance fair trade, solidarity tourism, etc.)

  13. D- Main difficulties 1- Territorial partnerships • Democracy in local partnerships • Establishing strategies and not list of projects 2- Vertical partnership • Tendency to impose instead of dialogue 3- Extra-territorial partnerships • Opening the partnership to new approaches • Cross-fertilizing approaches • Key questions: - laboratory function  key role of the first phase - Training integrated in action (learning from and planning together)
