SUMMARY:Community of Practice on Innovative Finance #2: Social Franchising and Cash Transfers
DESCRIPTION:Interested in knowing more about social franchise models for NGOs? And what about the difference\, effectiveness and pitfalls of conditional and unconditional cash transfers? Join us on June 18 at the next meeting of our recently formed Community of Practice on Innovative Finance for Development. The following session will take place on July 2\, and more will follow after the summer!\nAs concluded after February’s session on “How to raise sustainable income streams: the importance of non-profit business” and the first meeting of this CoP in April\, in the upcoming months The Spindle will organise a number of sessions on how different organisations are working with innovative ways of financing development. Each session will touch upon on one or two innovative financing instruments that are currently being explored\, experimented or implemented. The main goal of these meetings is to exchange on the topic and discuss experiences\, success stories\, pitfalls and recommendations regarding each financing instrument. While the sessions’ setting is confidential\, the main insights and lessons learnt will also be shared through a blog series produced by Han Valk Fundraising Consultancy & Interim Management. \nThe session of June 18 will focus on social franchising and cash transfers. Social franchising is the application of commercial franchising to organisations that pursue social missions rather than profit. In this model\, the NGO – or\, in some cases\, a social enterprise – creates a network of independent operators (I.e. local organisations) that offer the same services according to a common framework developed by the franchisor. Aflatoun is currently implementing this model within their international network\, so they will contribute to the session by sharing their experiences with it. \nCash transfers are direct transfer payments of money to people\, mostly in cases of humanitarian emergency but sometimes also within more general development programmes. Cash transfers can be either conditional or unconditional\, and their (overall and respective) impact is often highly debated. CARE NL and Plan International NL\, as partners of the Dutch Relief Alliance\, will share their experiences and present their approach together with 100weeks and Cash4all4life\, two interesting social projects. \nHas your interested been raised? Sign up by filling in the form here below.\n \nPractical details\nDate: Tuesday\, June 18\, 2019\nTime: 15.00-17.00 (+ networking drinks)\nLocation: Partos’s offices (Ellermanstraat 18B\, 1114 AK Amsterdam-Duivendrecht). \nThe following meeting of the CoP on Innovative Finance will revolve around other social franchising models and performance-based financing and will take place on July 2 (@ Bildung.city). Do not wait\, subscriptions are already open (send an e-mail to luca@partos.nl)! For updates on the next steps of this Community\, make sure to keep an eye on our website. \n  \nRegistration\nhttps://thespindle.org/event/community-of-practice-on-innovative-finance-2/

SUMMARY:Civic Space Conference: Building new partnerships across civil society
DESCRIPTION:A program prepared by members of the  Civic Space Platform\, with a contribution by Marriët Schuurman\, the Human Rights Ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.\nWith civic space worldwide under growing pressure and populism on the rise\, civil society organisations increasingly need to be creative in finding ways to act and build just\, peaceful and resilient societies. We need to build bridges and partnerships across civil society\, also with those that we normally don’t work with\, and together bring a story of hope and change. \nAs civil society actors\, we need to have an unbiased and open mind to recognize new and unexpected allies and the capacity to critically examine opponents. There is a rise of unconstructive or anti-rights civil society actors\, who contribute to exclusion\, racism\, gender stigmatization and xenophobia. But there are also unexpected allies; organizations\, groups and/or communities who are also affected by the shrinking civic space. Who are the allies within civil society that we neglect? Are we always able to distinguish between ‘the good\, the bad and the ugly’ in civil society?  How to deal with the un-civic part of civil society? What strategies do we need to identify and engage unusual allies? What are effective strategies to counter our opponents within local civil society? \nThis learning event will focus attention on: \n\nRecognizing our own blind spots.\nStrategies to identify and engage new allies\nBuilding partnerships across civil society to defend and strengthen civic space\nStrategies to deal with the un-civic part of civil society\n\nMarriët Schuurman\, The Human Rights Ambassador\, will focus on the urgency of joining forces in the defence of civic space and of a joint narrative on the importance of civic space for a vital society and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.\nWe will have presentations on the need to engage faith-based organisations and independent media as new allies\, followed by working group sessions discussing new partnerships\, involving also trade unions\, political parties\, young entrepreneurs and artists. \nThis learning event is inspired by: \n\nthe work of the Civic Engagement Alliance (CEA)\, one of the Strategic Partners in Dialogue and Dissent. One of the themes of CEA related to civic space includes the position and role of Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) and other religious actors in enhancing civic space;\nthe 2019 State of Civil Society Report and other studies by CIVICUS that focuses on the growing number of anti-rights civil society actors and the strategies from within civil society to counter them;\nThe opportunity provided by the new policy framework MFA Dialogue and Dissent program 2.0. that expectedly will have focussed attention for the shrinking civic space and effective civil society partnerships.\n\nPractical details\nDate: June 20th\nTime: 9.00 – 13.00\nLocation: New World Campus This link opens in a new tab (Spaarneplein 2\, Den Haag)\nOrganisation: The program is prepared by platform members ICCO\, Prisma\, Kerk in Actie\, Free Press Unlimited\, HIVOS\, CNV International and Partos/The Spindle. \n  \nRegistration:\nhttps://thespindle.org/event/civic-space-conference-building-new-partnerships-across-civil-society/
