  6. Policy Process Workshops • Looking at internal policy processes – what works in DFID. • Small, informal workshop with 7 staff. • Participatory pair-wise ranking of factors influencing the success of 8 policy processes. • Worked quite well. • In DFID - agendas and processes rather than documents are key

(Stakeholder analysis) • Arena: government, parliament, civil society, judiciary, private sector. • Level: local, national, international • What is their Interest and Influence? • Process matrix + political matrix • Political and administrative feasibility assessment [Sources: M. Grindle / J. Court ]

Policy Process Mapping for SMEs • Participants work on a set of actors related to policy processes • Steps: • Identify key actors that influence SME policy • Create Matrix: Organizations and Key Steps of the Policy Process • Describe Organizations’ formal position in the policy process • Describe Organizations’ informal influence on the policy process • Give a number rating (1=low; 5=high) for the influence each organization has on different parts of the policy process.

Group Work 1: Mapping the political process • Within your area(s) – identify the key actors that influence SME policy formulation and/or implementation • Outline their formal and informal roles in formulation and/or implementation and write a description on an index card • Also identify, and write on the car where SME research is undertaken • Give a number rating (1=low; 5=high) for the influence each organization has on different parts of the policy process.
