Best Practices in Global Citizenship: A Workshop
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Join CVGAN for an introductory workshop that focuses on understanding the rationale for the Istanbul Principles.
Workshop Description:
What is development effectiveness and why do we need it? Development effectiveness � is promoting sustainable positive change, within a democratic framework, that addresses the causes as well as the symptoms of poverty, inequality and marginalization, through the diversity and complementarity of instruments, policies and actors.�
As leaders in development organizations we need to assess how effective we are in our work so we are able to:
- analyse our current practices
- move from �aid� to �development�
- demonstrate results and
- broaden our base of support.
The workshop is the beginning of a process and journey for learning. At the end of the workshop participants will have a better understanding of this framework for development effectiveness while recognizing that it is an ongoing process to follow best practices.
Workshop Goal
To introduce participants to a set of development principles developed by civil society organizations through an international consultation process aimed to improve our development effectiveness globally.
Learning Objectives
To understand the origins of and the concepts inherent in the 8 Istanbul Principles for Development Effectiveness and why they are important
To analyse the deeper implications of:
Using the Human Rights Based Approach as a framework for development practice
Developing functioning, equitable partnerships (applicable to any partnership) to implement our activities.
To identify next steps for participants and the organization they represent to continue their self-directed learning through access to on-line and other resources.
With additional time, one more learning objective may be addressed:
To analyse the application of other Istanbul Principles of development effectiveness identified by participants.
Workshop Methodology
The workshop will be participatory using a combination of presentation, discussion, and case study analysis. The assumption is that we all have development expertise and knowledge to share to improve our practices.
