What useful contacts were established?

SIDA's Joakim Molander is interested in piloting OM in some of SIDA's human rights projects in Latin America (the others will contibue using the LogFrame). He will use these pilots as control cases to determine whether OM provides a better alternative to LogFrame. He was interested in RAPID knowledge management capacity and there is room to pitch in ex-post OM-based evaluation methodologies.

Two evaluators from SDC were present at the workshop: Yvan Pasteur and Severine Donnet-Descartes. Yvan suggested that they were going to work to try to adapt some of OM principles to their work. He saw great benefits in this and saw this as a more realistic approach to change.

Caspar Merkle at the ILO's International Program on the Elimination of Child Labour was interested in mapping OMs behaviour changes and strategies on top of IPEC's results based country strategies. We worked on some ideas and will continue to collaborate informally on the subject (specifically in their Colombian strategy).

Kari Sann, from the Performance Assessment Resource Centre (PARC) is interested in introducing OM gradually into DFID's country evaluations. She was interested in RAPID's communications and evidence based policy influence tools and experience.

Daniel Roduner and Walter Schlappi from LBL in Switzerland will work with IDRC to develop a European hub for OM. We will try to work with them to provide them with the necessary support.

Suresh Bartlett of the Sri Lankan government wants RAPID to help develop a KM strategy for the Information Communications Technology Agency.

Sarah Earl of IDRC wants to collaborate with RAPID on methodology development, and is also interested in recieving ODI support in developing the OM Learning Network.
