2013 – 2016 Intersessional Programme Design Process CEESP Steering Committee January 2011 INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE The intersessional programme • Regulation 2: … “IUCN shall pursue its objectives through an integrated programme of activities, formulated, coordinated and implemented by the Members and components of IUCN ” – Programme is mandated in out statutes and regulations – It is a union-wide designed and implemented programme • Statute 20e:… [The functions of the World Congress shall be inter alia..].... “to consider and approve the programme and financial plan for the period until the next ordinary session of the World Congress” – The mandate to implement the content of any specific intersessional programme of work can only come from the Members 2 Trends in intersessional programming (ISP) • Before WCC 2 (Amman) ISP: – was loose and unstructured – de facto several programming frameworks. – lacked synergies between IUCN components – 1998 / 1999 crisis led to first focused effort for a more structured approach • By WCC 3 (Bangkok) – agreed to operate under a “one programme ” framework – although progress 2005 – 2008 saw increasing donor critique that IUCN was unable to demonstrate results and no clear demonstration of conservation interventions that improved human-wellbeing • By WCC 4 (Barcelona) 3 – – – – shift to results-based programming greater emphasis on adhering to value proposition significantly sharper programme focus re-organised programme structure IUCN’s Value Proposition Derived from our unique structure and characteristics Credible, trusted knowledge Partnerships for action Global to local / Local to global reach Standards and practices 4 5 Responsible for Responsible for Responsible for Responsible for •Biodiversity •Climate Change •Human well-being •Energy •Green Economy •Global prog & policy Focal point for: SSC WCPA 6 Focal point for: CEESP CEM Focal point for: CEL Focal point for: CEC Development of the IUCN Programme 2013-16 7 Preparation of 2013-16 component plans • Each component of IUCN prepares a component programme plan, following the same basic rules: – The document must contain a clear situation analysis (diagnosis) and justification for the results which are proposed; – The proposed results should align with the Global Programme Areas and Results; – The results must actually be results-based, indicating a clear change in policy, governance or behaviour in an intended audience (policy platform, government, person or organization); – The results must specify targets and indicators of success. 8 Identifying means to achieve ends • The means (or sub-results) shows how the result will be achieved. • In IUCN’s case, this is a combination of different aspects of the value proposition and other strategies commonly used: – Trusted knowledge, but also what kind of knowledge, packaged in what way? – Convening and partnerships: who can IUCN bring together, particularly those who would not normally convene? – Global to local to global reach: how can IUCN leverage its reach, its experience outside of this region, to bring to bear on the issue? – Standards and practices: deployment of tied and tested tools and approaches • Also – Empowerment and capacity building 9 Indicators of success • A well formed result will immediately suggest an indicator • Indicators should be: – – – – – S - specific M - measurable A – achievable and appropriate R – realistic and reliable T – time-bound • IUCN often focuses results on policy changes, so it is important to identify indicators that capture: – The qualitative change in the policy that IUCN wants – e.g. Does it refer to IUCN positions or advice regarding biodiversity conservation? 10 Leverage the existing network model for IUCN’s thematic work Co-ordinator Capacity Building (CEC) Gender REDD Implementation Networks •Vehicle for delivery of thematic (sub)-results, e.g. REDD, EbA, Policy, Gender, Social Core Group Safeguards Climate Change Core Group •Designed to implement • 8 people: Commissions, the one programme Council, Regional and HQ across Commissions, Secretariat, National • Function:Overall Committees, advice & Implementing Secretariat quality assurance on Networks programme alignment and delivery INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE Timelines and deliverables – A CEESP representative attends programme writing week (24th Jan) – Make sure that CEESP successes are recognised and reported in the 2009 – 2010 IUCN programme report – Map ongoing activities in CEESP and identify institutional partners with similar needs / priorities in other commissions / secretariat regions and global thematics – Identify list of 6 to 10 candidate results justified by alignment with global results (2013 – 2016) – optimise synergies where possible. – Draft of the CEESP 2013-16 component Programme is available for discussion by April – Use opportunity of the Regional Conservation Forum to reinforce mapping process and result identification process – Finalise the CEESP “2013 – 2016” component programme by October 12 Preparation of the CEESP Programme Plan 2013-16 13
