  7. SDC Zimbabwe Multilateral strategy • Challenges • Understanding of mechan. of fund alloc. within SDC (e.g. pool funds etc.) • Work in the triangle…? WFP “ok” and rest? “reporting structure..” • No clear SDC position regarding mult. Partners (eg. UN, WB, AfDB etc.) and • SDC internal differing opinions / preferences on mult. Org. and in relation to reality (need base) • HR: policy dialogue = networking, techn. Capacities, meetings, etc. = costs! (not = Direct Action) • Donor coordination / common approach • Secondments – “Swissness” • Relationship RC, GC, HA…. ONE SDC?

  8. SDC Zimbabwe Multilateral strategy • Rethink policy dialogue with Multilateral Organizations • One donor makes no difference and policy dialogue happens at all level and not reduced to funding only (small amounts + techn. expertise + policy dialogue = multiplier effect !) • One organization does not make a difference neither (need of work together, “push” from donors etc.) • Allies with donor colleagues (‘like minded”) • Engage with “Global Players”,INGO (high influence/inp) • Squash or….Cricket (pers. contacts, networking, social capital)
