Objectives of today’s Webinar

1) Improve joint understanding of a multi-stakeholder approach

2) Think through advantages and disadvantages of using a multi-stakeholder process

3) Clarify expectations for interventions in country

4) Explore three kinds interventions 1) Addressing Gender roles and attitudes towards care

2) Increasing access and use of time and labour saving equipment

3) Advocacy with state and private sector for infrastructure and services

AGENDA

• A multi-stakeholder approach

• What does it look like?

• Disadvantages and advantages

• Examples

• Expectations for interventions

• 3 kinds of interventions

• Questions?

THE MULTI-STAKEHOLDER APPROACH

A Multi-Stakeholder Approach

• Multi-stakeholder involvement is not a stand alone activity or event but rather an approach. Oxfam has a facilitating role in addressing heavy and unequal care together with other actors.

• “[a multi-stakeholder] process takes the view that everyone involved in the process has a valid view and relevant knowledge and experience to bring to decision-making. The approach aims to create trust between actors and solutions that create mutual benefits (win-win). The approach is people-centred and everyone involved takes responsibility for the outcome” UNFCCC

Multi-Stakeholder Process

YOUR VIEWS

• What are your doubts?

• What do you like about the approach?

• What are your questions?

Your comments...

WE-Care : a multi-stakeholder approach

• More sustainable in the medium and long-term, as many actors are committed to the success of the intervention

• More cost-effective, with contributions from various sources

• Better designed (more good ideas!)

• Communities will use and maintain resources better (rather than simply receiving donor-funded resources)

• It enables a ‘systems’ approach which aims to change the existing systems and structures (spreads innovation faster, changing power relationships, distributes responsibility and ownership)

WHAT DOES ‘MULTI-STAKEHOLDER’ LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE?

Examples

• TajWSS: The whole programme is multi-stakeholder

• WE-Care: Each intervention engages/involves more stakeholders:• Grain-grinding and water systems (Honduras): advocacy with

government achieved electricity-generating plant; producer union developed corn-grinding enterprise

• Promoting men as fathers – bring together radio stations, existing youth groups, schools/teachers, religious leaders (Promundo)

• Fuel-efficient stoves: clean-energy NGO to provide materials/videos to create demand; technical trainer (to make stoves); or stove company, Min of Agriculture subsidy, etc

Your viewsAdvantages and disadvantages?

• Focus on examples presented or others you are thinking of

• Type your views in the chatbox

Example from WE-Care: Intervention plan in Ethiopia Intervention planned in two different regions of Ethiopia,

Oromia and Somali region;

Intervention strategy is based on the findings identified from RCA’s conducted;

( Horticulture and Cross border Diary value chain projects) Horticulture project considered WE-care in the revision of

the project and included findings from the analysis with in the project proposal ;

Cross border diary value chain project is just in the planning stage thus the team used this opportune to incorporate RCA findings with in this project through recommendation of the gender analysis;

Funding (still a concern)

EXPECTATIONS FOR INTERVENTIONS

Clarity on expectations and desired outcomes

• Multi-stakeholder process is an approach and process (not an event or activity)

• Expect tangible outputs from the process, yes, and

• Expect the different actors will have a better understanding of the role they can play changing heavy and unequal care

• Different actors will understand why change will be beneficial

• Create a network of stakeholders that will engage on issues of unpaid care work – this can become a platform to solve more complex care issues

What do you think?

In your context, how will you reach these desired outcomes?

Three kinds of interventions

1. Gender roles and attitudes to care

2. Time and labour saving equipment

3. Advocacy to state and private sector for care related infrastructure, services and changing norms

1 – Gender roles and attitudes• Identify the key attitudes or perceptions to be changed –and

the new attitude/perception or roles• Childcare and care of elderly is a valuable activity that brings joy into our

lives!

• Express what impact/outcome could occur from this change • Men take more responsibility for supervision, increasing women’s

mobility and choice over time

• Identify who/which actors could promote the new role –attitude?• Older men, a village leader, a music band teachers, radio station, health

promoters, religious leaders

• Who do we need to consult? Who could provide resources (including staff time or volunteer time)? Who will implement?

• How are you going to make this happen? • Community awareness-raising sessions, radio spots, role models,

change agents, etc…

2 – Time and labour saving equipment

• What are the most problematic care tasks that can be addressed with time and labour saving equipment?• Fuel, water collection, meal preparation and stoves, electricity…

• Which are your priorities?

• What role do you think Oxfam should play and what role should others play? • Stakeholder mapping

• What impact do you want to have this year? What is the outcome?• Reduction of total hours of care work done by women, increased investment

in equipment by households• Information, access, use, delivery of time and labour saving equipment

• Who will do it/what?

3 – Advocacy with policy-makers government, private-sector

• What is the change to be achieved? Policy/laws/resources etc

• (Gender) power analysis – who can make this decision, who are blockers and enablers,

• What are the existing plans/opportunities for lobbying and advocacy – in the host programme budget/work-plan, for a start – and with allies

• Who should deliver the message? (get partners, allies, private sector)

• What is the ‘best’ argument? Do we have the evidence?

YOUR VIEWS• What are you planning for your 3 kinds of interventions?

• Have you planned them in a sequence? Which ones go first?

• Which interventions are more important for the context & why?

• Which interventions can use multi-stakeholder approaches? Why? how will this improve scale of impact, sustainability?

• What support or resources needed, if any?
