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

Institutional Review 3 Options Recommended for CRCID: 1. Disband; 2. Maintain Status Quo; or, 3. Transform CRCID

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.

Institutional Review Option 2: Status Quo Impact upon Rotary: High risk for CIDA and Rotary supporters; Fail to capitalize on Rotary’s extraordinary potential; Not sustainable.

Institutional Review At the 2005 CRCID AGM the Board and membership approved the decision to transform the organization according to option 3

Institutional Review Option 3: Transformation Impact 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.)

20 Geographic Focus CRCID initially mandated to fund projects in any ODA (Official Development Assistance) country 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

Programs 1. Health Concerns Orphans & Vulnerable Children (OVC) Programs ANCHOR – Mozambique; CDCC - South Africa; and, TRACC – Uganda. Malaria (Tanzania)

Programs 2. Literacy & Education: Ripple Effect Program (Guatemala) Project Honduras Program (Honduras)

Programs 3. Water Management: Nakuru Program (Kenya) Water for Humanity (Ghana)

24 CRCID Vision The Canadian Rotary Collaboration for International Development will be a leading advocate in fostering the alleviation of poverty and improving the quality of life through facilitating the implementation of sustainable international development programs.

25 CRCID Funding Model Program Funding: Quarterly advances based on annual budget & financial statements. Project Funding: CRCID funds advanced when all other funds contributed

26 CRCID Funding Model Criteria for Funding: Only Recognized Cdn. Rotary Entities eligible for funding(i.e. clubs); Matched funding (0.8:1) of Cdn. Rotary contributions; 10% Management fee; 6 month monitoring (interim) reports.

27 CRCID Evolving Expand committee membership beyond CRCID membership CRCID initiated programs TRF managed CRCID Restricted Fund Account Visioning Committee
