ODI Civil Society Partnerships Programme
Partners Meeting 13th-15th November 2006
The CSPP Partners Meeting held in London in November 2006
provided an opportunity for 20 CSPP partners from around the
world to discuss progress and the future of the programme.
The Partners Meeting overlapped with a meeting for high-level
Programme Advisors who include
the heads of three of the partner organisations, and was followed
by a two day research-policy
symposium in Oxford organised in collaboration with INASP.
There was a general feeling among participants that the network
is now becoming more cohesive and this meeting provided a
useful forum for partners to come together for more substantial
work and discussions.
This was the second CSPP Partners Meeting. The first, which
was held in London in November
2005 involved 17 participants from Asia, Africa and Latin
America. The key conclusions from the first meeting were that
there is a growing demand for research-based-evidence to inform
development policy processes and from TTs, PRIs, and some
NGOs for support to develop the capacity to meet this demand,
and that the focus of the next phase of the programme should
be to develop a network of like-minded organisations (including
these 17) to do this. A number of more specific recommendations
were made which were incorporated into the plans for Phase
II.
