2005 Institutional Review CIDA conducts regular reviews of

partner NGOs Collaborative process between

CIDA; NGO; and, Independent Evaluator

CRCID’s latest review took place in late 2004;

Final Report published March 2005

8

2005 Institutional Review

3 Options Recommended for CRCID:

1. Disband;2. Maintain Status Quo; or,3. Transform CRCID

9

2005 Institutional Review

Option 1: Disband Impact upon Rotary: Risky for Canadian clubs because it is

unlikely that individual club projects would qualify for CIDA funding.

10

2005 Institutional Review

Option 2: Status QuoImpact upon Rotary: High risk for CIDA and Rotary

supporters; Fail to capitalize on Rotary’s

extraordinary potential; Not sustainable.

11

2005 Institutional Review

At the 2005 CRCID AGM the Board and membership approved the

decision to transform the organization according to option 3

12

2005 Institutional Review

Option 3: TransformationImpact Upon Rotary: Conflicts with traditional Rotary

culture; Most challenging of the 3 options; Once completed holds greatest

promise for lasting impact on a large scale.

13

How to Transform CRCID? Needed to first review recent

trends in development to determine “how much of a transition was necessary”.

Noted that there have been 3 waves of development over past 40+ years.

14

3 Waves of Aid

1. Tradition of charity Help those less fortunate; Service above Self; Most WCS part of this wave;

Drawbacks: Small scale in relation to problem; Little impact on widespread or endemic

issues. Not necessarily consistent with country

priorities

15

3 Waves of Aid

2. Basic Human Rights Large scale gov’t to gov’t funding; Improved governance in developing

countries; Drawbacks:

Bureaucracy/red tape; Inefficiency & waste

Beneficiaries not involved in decision-making processes.

16

3 Waves of Aid

3. Entrepreneurial Focus on programs rather than projects. Support sustainable development efforts

as identified by beneficiaries to reduce poverty.

Drawbacks: New approach & too early to determine

effectiveness Paradigm shift for many organizations,

including CRCID

17

Projects to Programs

Projects Weaknesses:

Uncoordinated development for region or country

Focus on individual communities; Capacity drain caused by managing

multiple projects; Short life cycle (1-3 yrs.)

18

Projects to Programs

Programs Definition:

A Program is a multitude of projects implemented in a coordinated way to address a sector wide concern

Strengths of Programs: Coordinated development for region or

country; Single management process; Longer life cycle (3+ yrs.)

Geographic Focus CRCID initially mandated to fund projects in

any ODA (Official Development Assistance) country. 2003 CIDA recommended geographic focus

because: Insufficient funding to make impact; Easier for monitoring & evaluation.

Initially selected 7 Rotary Districts: 3280; 4690; 4250; 9100; 9200; 9210; and, 9250

Reduced to 10 countries within 7 Districts for 2006/09 program:

Based upon where approved programs being implemented
