1 Collaboration Maps Preston Sharp, USAID/Rwanda ProgramNet Webinar April 9, 2013

2 Collaboration Maps First attempted with our CDCS, but can be applied to various stages of USAID s work We had no idea what we were doing! Have been incorporated into CDCS and Project Design workshops Several other Missions and Bureaus have completed them We ve recently made some revisions to simplify the tool 2

3 Collaboration Maps USAID oftentimes does not strategically target relationships with key stakeholders. Relationships tend to be more personality-driven than results-driven. Collaboration Maps can help coordinate efforts among various partners but more importantly help USAID determine where to focus relationship-building efforts. Combines influence (both financial and non-financial) with the level of interaction. Serves as a monitoring tool for stakeholder engagement. 3

16 Design Stakeholder Size Color Proximity Dotted Line DfID 3 10 High No MINAG 8 9 Medium Yes UNICEF 6 5 Low Yes CSOs 1 2 High Yes USAID 6 7 N/A N/A Does the relationship rely on just one contact (at either USAID or the other stakeholder)? In other words, if a key person leaves, does that circle begin to move away from USAID? (Yes/No) 16

17 Bilateral CIDA MINAG MOH Government Solid = Strong Relationship Dotted = DfID MOL Relationship in jeopardy USAID UNICEF EU WB CSOs INGOs Private Sector Multilateral Associational Life 17

18 Analysis Do our relationships with these stakeholders need to be strengthened? Which ones? 18

20 Analysis Do our relationships with these stakeholders need to be strengthened? Which ones? How can relationships on the other DO teams be used to strengthen coordination? 20

21 Analysis: Comparing Maps Everyone has glow on private sector World Bank: DO1 = weak relationship; DO2 = strong DO3: Global fund has influence but very weak interaction DO4: No local CSOs? 21

22 Challenges How rigorous should we be with quantifying financial influence? Defining non-financial influence Do we include implementing partners? How to effectively represent the interagency USG DOD PC (e.g. w/ PEPFAR funds)? USAID CDC State 22

23 When to use them? CDCS development process Project design Activity: Working with implementing partners Annual portfolio reviews Country systems strengthening: coordinating donors/partners around a common goal; demonstrates USG leadership Bottom line: Whenever other players have influence over the achievement of our results! 23

24 Remaining Questions Recent revision: Does removing one stakeholder s influence over another reduce the utility of these? Would sharing our Collaboration Maps encourage more collaboration among partners? How sensitive is this information? Could it be distributed publicly? 24
