  1. Research and Policy in Development Programme Working Groups Ben Ramalingam RAPID Programme, ODI b.ramalingam@odi.org.uk

  2. Development, Europe and 2005

  3. “…many actors seem to be operating in isolation and the response seems rather fragmented. There is scope – and need – for European networks to do more to influence policymaking in international development…” Court and Mendizabal, 2005

  4. Working Groups Task • We invite the participants to work in groups to respond to hypothetical, provocative challenges around networking in European development cooperation, and develop specific ideas of what we should be doing differently

  5. Challenge 1 European development organisations and professionals do most of their effective networking with institutions and people that are very similar to themselves

  6. Challenge 2For European development organisations and professionals, effective networking is largely the result of individual rather than institutional relationships, and these are always lost when key staff members leave

  7. Challenge 3 European development organisations and professionals within them do most of their effective networking for funding purposes

  8. Challenge 4 European development organisations and professionals within them do most of their effective networking in an unplanned and opportunistic manner

  9. The process • Divide into 7-8 groups • Receive and read challenge statements • Appoint a distiller – recorder within each group • Brainstorm each challenge statement and related questions for approx 40mins, taking notes on flip chart paper (to be collected for workshop report – write clear!) • Spend 15mins determining five things we should do differently based on group discussions • Write these down and stick up on with the challenge statement • Spend 10 minutes to walkabout and highlight your favourites (not on your own five!) using coloured dots • Wrap up

  10. Any questions before we start?
