Page 7 Feedback Francophone Common theme that allows us to mobilise, no common logo because that is a good example of how a campaign can be well thought out in one market and fail in other. Formal but flexible alliance, structure to coordinate but not linked to money, Oxfam does not fund budget
Page 8 Feedback English Greg Need means of shared identity but not a brand, message more important than brand Colours can have political meanings in contexts and be cautious Aims of campaign determine type of coalition. Need something looser and flexible Sensitive to funding arrangements of different partners and how that incentivises or disincentivises
Page 9 Feedback English Adam Formal coalitions are not the best way forward, some exist already and once you have a secretariat they compete with members for funding Huge transaction costs in formal coalitions and lose agility. Loose alliance approach especially in Tanzania and Nigeria Don’t dictate model at national level Danger of NGOising moving them into formal NGO then kills the movement Don’t go for Oxfam logo
