SUMMARY:A Successful Marriage: Research-CSO partnerships delivering practical solutions
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Canadian Collaborative for Global Health\, participating projects (‘Labs’) worked in interdisciplinary partnerships with the objective of addressing an urgent data challenge. A key learning from this initiative is that these intersectional partnerships are ideally placed to address many critical issues\, but are not without their challenges. \nIn this 1 hour dialogue\, participants from the Labs will discuss: \n– What are principles of equitable partnership\, and how might this be measured?\n– Are there certain types of work to which research-CSO collaborations are uniquely suited?\n– How can we practically balance the multiple priorities of partners\, particularly when they are in conflict with each other?\n– How do we work equitably with global research and CSO partners\, recognizing power structures which have traditionally undervalued local expertise? \nRegister here

SUMMARY:IATI Virtual Community Exchange
DESCRIPTION:This IATI ‘Virtual Community Exchange’ (VCE) is the first of two online events taking place in 2021 to bring together the global IATI community. The VCEs will be informal\, interactive and community-driven\, focusing on providing opportunities for shared learning based on practical experiences in engaging with IATI data. \nJoin IATI’s first VCE on 13 April to help us consider IATI’s progress vis-à-vis the current state of transparency and open data in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals. During the VCE\, you will hear about recent and upcoming IATI activities and how you can participate\, be inspired during sessions led by other members of the IATI community and engage with peers in the open data and transparency space. A second VCE to be held in late 2021 will provide additional opportunity for more technically-focused sessions and will showcase even more content from you as members of the IATI community! \nWho can attend the Virtual Community Exchange? How can I register? \nThe Virtual Community Exchange is open to anyone with an interest in transparency\, open data or IATI generally. We expect participation from a broad range of stakeholders\, including from governments\, civil society\, the private sector\, academia and others\, from across the globe. The event will be organised over a half day of diverse sessions. There is no expectation that participants would attend all sessions\, but can ‘pick and choose’ based on their interests and needs. Simultaneous interpretation between English\, French and Spanish will be provided. Read more about how to prepare for the VCE by reading  ‘Getting Ready for the VCE.’ \nPlease register your participation in the event using this link no later than 9 April 2021.\nWhere will the Virtual Community Exchange be held? \nThe Virtual Community Exchange will be held virtually on Zoom. Links to individual sessions will be circulated to registered participant the week before the event. \nWhat will the Virtual Community Exchange agenda cover? How can I contribute? \nThe interactive agenda for the VCE is available here\, offering three parallel sessions simultaneously. Participants are welcome to attend a session from each time slot\, or to ’pick and choose’\, only attending sessions that fit their needs and interests. This preliminary agenda will be updated with more exciting details as the event draws nearer\, so check back regularly for more updates. In the meantime you can also log in to Sched to bookmark sessions you plan to attend\, view your schedule and leave feedback. \nFor any further questions on the first IATI Virtual Exchange\, please contact the IATI Secretariat at info@iatistandard.org or leave a question below!\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Essentials of Results-based Management & Theory of Change during and post COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:In six 3.5 hour online sessions\, we will show you how to: \n\nMASTER RBM online digital tools in the workplace in an interactive & participatory way with your stakeholders;\nDEVELOP a systems thinking around RBM;\nAPPLY RBM at an organizational\, programme and/or project level;\nDESIGN a logic model and Performance Measurement framework using a free\, online software and participatory format that you can use in the workplace with your teams;\nDEVELOP and EXPLAIN the Theory of Change behind your logic model;\nADAPT your program design and performance measurement plans in light of COVID-19 & major disruptions;\nWRITE a Results-based Report.\n\nWhy You Should Attend \nCOVID-19 is upending our daily lives and how we typically work.  This can provide both challenges & opportunities. There is a need to retool\, retrofit and adapt current and future programmes to better respond both in the short and long term to shocks\, stresses and health hazards. This workshop will help you to more effectively design\, monitor and evaluate your programs to face various layers & structures of adversity: climate crisis\, pandemics like COVID-19\, and growing structural inequities that exacerbate vulnerabilities. \nThis Zoom comprehensive online workshop will focus on how to deal with COVID-19 impacts in real time in the way you design\, manage\, monitor\, evaluate and report on your initiatives. The workshop will help you deal better with disruption\, uncertainty and significant change so that you and your organization are more resilient and better at anticipating and adapting to disruption in the future. We will focus on real time case studies drawn from workshop participants to learn the essentials of results-based management. Together we will have an opportunity to reflect\, retrofit and adapt our programming and our monitoring and evaluation work in light of COVID-19. Understanding the gendered impacts of COVID 19 will also be addressed with strategies that seek social transformation in gender relations in order to achieve greater gender equality. You will also learn how to use new online technologies to work in teams remotely in a participatory and inclusive way. \nTake a step and join us in this adventure into remote digital collaboration and get inspired for the future of your work! \nWho Will Be There? \nThis workshop is designed for individuals who already have some basic understanding of RBM\, particularly: \n\nDecision-makers who want to cultivate their organizational resilience & deepen their understanding of RBM & the Theory of Change and boost their strategies and skills to adapt their RBM systems\, make critical decisions on organizational policy\, resource allocations\,  and move forward in terms of sustainable development and the SDGs.\nProfessionals & managers who work with different stakeholder groups at government\, intermediary or community levels and apply RBM on an ongoing basis\, mentor or train others on RBM applications\, and are involved in project design\, monitoring and evaluation;\nNGOs\, academics and consultants who want to broaden their repertoire of RBM tools & methods and retool using online platforms that are participatory and interactive.\nStudents who want to learn real time approaches\, methods and tools used in programme and project design\, management and implementation.\n\nWhat Results To Expect \nThis remote workshop responds to the COVID-19 impacted environment we are all living in. Using an online Zoom platform\, presentations will address COVID-19-related challenges and opportunities to better design\, monitor & evaluate and report on programmes and projects that are affected by external shocks and stresses.  Short presentations will be combined with breakout rooms for small online group discussions and exercises.  Real time case studies drawn from workshop participants will be used to support the development of appropriate logic models\, theory of change\, risk management plans\, and reports that take into account COVID-19 and its impact. \nYou will walk away with the skills to utilize concrete tools (Logic models\, Performance Measurement Frameworks\, Risk Mitigation Strategies\, Results-based Reports) and dive deep into examples from case studies and presentations.  You will be introduced to new online remote software (e.g. ZOOM\, Kinaki (https://www.kinaki.ca/)\, among others) that you will use in your group work and that you can continue to use in your workplace.  The hands-on\, participatory and practical approach used by Mosaic in its face-to-face workshops will also be embedded in this remote workshop  to ensure that you learn by doing and that the training is practical and ready to use in the workplace. \nWorkshop Agenda \nThis remote online workshop is organized in six  3.5 hour sessions from  April 30- May 14\, 2021 which goes from 12:30 PM EST-16:00 PM EST (New York time) with the exception of the Orientation Session on April 30\, 2021 which lasts 2.5 hours.   Sessions may be recorded to allow for people to reinforce their learning or take in the recording as needed.
