The Market Facilitation Initiative (MaFI)

                                The MaFI-festo Dialogues:
                   Boostingdevelopmenteffectivenessthroughfacilitation
                     ofinclusivemarketsandprivatesectorengagement

                        Project document, short version (Mar 2012)

1.The core idea: Let’s build a process of trust, dialogue and collaboration between inclusive
market facilitators and donors to improve or change the principles, rules and procedures of
international development.

2. What for? To make international development more effective and the interventions of
inclusive market facilitators more sustainable, scalable and efficient.

3. The core problem: the principles, rules, incentives and procedures used by donors and in
some cases imposed by NGOs on themselves, hamper the efforts of market development
practitioners who want to use facilitation approaches to make markets more inclusive,
productive and efficient. Top-down, control-based, linear approaches have a place in the
development landscape; they are important when dealing with natural disasters, civil
conflict, epidemic outbreaks, etc.; in other words, life or death situations where a quick
solution of symptoms is critical. However, these approaches do not work well when we are
dealing with complex systems like markets; targeting root causes, not symptoms; promoting
ownership and adaptability of the stakeholders; and promoting diffusion of new ideas and
skills beyond our direct influence. In these cases, we need facilitation and systems thinking
to create the right conditions for the stakeholders in the market system to drive and sustain
the processes of change that work for them.

The architecture of the international aid (or cooperation) system must change on the basis
of the principles of complex adaptive systems, effective organizational learning and
facilitation. This concept note focuses on the latter but recognizing that it is impossible to
separate effective facilitation from the ideas of complexity and effective learning.

4. Proposed solution: To promote, contribute to and engage with strategic processes of
discussion, policy-making and advocacy related to the improvement of aid effectiveness
from the perspective of facilitation and with a focus on inclusive market systems
development.

Note: We are not the only ones thinking about doing this; there are networks like UK Aid
Network, Better Aid Network, Interaction, etc. who are also working in the similar
directions. This is good because this is a highly political process; the more critical mass and
opinion-makers, the more effective we can be. We need to engage with these networks and
organization as well as donors. The spirit should be of dialogue and collaboration; looking
for areas where we can work together on concrete solutions.
                                                                                                  1
                                                                                                  Page
5. Proposed strategy:

Phase 1: Building mutual knowledge and trust using the MaFI-festo1:

This is a phase of mapping out the stakeholders who are already mobilizing themselves
around the issues of Aid Effectiveness. These include individual NGOs, networks, donors and
even academic researchers who have studied the international cooperation system in detail.

After the mapping, we need to create spaces to share what we all are doing or want to do
and find areas of commonality and divergence. In parallel, trust and joint visions of what is
needed and possible should be promoted. This phase also includes the mapping of local and
international milestones (conferences, workshops, meetings) where issues related to Aid
Effectiveness will be discussed.MaFIwill make important contributions to this global debate
from the perspective of inclusive market development facilitation.

This phase will give MaFImembers and leading donorsadditional ideas to improve the
strategies and activities of the MaFI-festo.

Phase 2: Implementation of the MaFI-festo recommendations

The MaFI-festoidentified concrete strategies and activities that practitioners and donors
could implement together. These are classified into four broad areas: field practice,
practitioner-donor relationships, capacity building and M&E.

The implementation of the MaFI-festo will be done following three guiding principles:
      Collaboration: the MaFI-festo will create appropriate conditions for trust, dialogue
      and mutual understanding between donors, practitioners and other key
      stakeholders; it is not about one actor asking the others to make changes. The MaFI-
      festo will promote sustained learning, convergence and collaboration.
      Engagement: the MaFI-festo will be used by MaFI members to engage, coordinate
      and make synergies with other organizations or networks who are pursuing similar
      objectives.
      Practicality: theMaFI-festo is designed to achieve real change that has real impacts
      on the work of field facilitators. The MaFI-festo is not only about imagining new
      solutions but also about learning from donors and practitioners who are already
      embracing market facilitation approaches and successfully changing the rules of the
      game of the international cooperation system.


6. Potential Partnerships:

This initiative requires collaboration and coordination with NGOs, networks and donors who
are keen on promoting effective international aid or are already taking steps to improve
                                                                                                                 2
                                                                                                                 Page

 The MaFI-festo will give content to the MaFI-festo Dialogues. It distils the inputs from several MaFI members
since 2010. Accessible at: slidesha.re/mafifesto2
how development cooperation funds are used and programs are implemented. Examples of
potential partners areUK Aid Network, Better Aid Network, Interaction (US) and BOND (UK).

7. Outcomes:

It is impossible to predict which specific principles, rules or procedures the MaFI-festo
Dialogues will be able to change. This is a highly political and complex process that has to
engage the will and resources of several stakeholders (e.g. donors and networks). However,
it is safe to assume that the following outcomes will result out of this initiative:
         A more enabling environment of rules, principles and procedures for inclusive
         market development initiatives using facilitation approaches
         Improved relationships between practitioners and donors. These relationships are
         fundamental for a sustained process of learning, adaptation and innovation around
         effective use of resources to make market systems work for poverty reduction at
         scale and environmental protection.

8. Outputs or products:
       Syntheses of the local and international discussions:these will be an important
       reference point for policy-makers or researchers of international cooperation.
       A series of case studies with lessons about how to implement facilitation-friendly
       rules and principles on the ground (also the challenges involved) and evidence about
       their impacts on responsiveness, innovation, sustainability, cost-efficiency and scale
       up.
       Local and international seminars and workshops (a key space for this will be the SEEP
       AC and events organised by SEEP members). These spaces will be co-financed by the
       hosts and other stakeholders.

9. Duration: 2-3 years (NOTE: this project document focuses on year 1 mainly)




                                                                                                3
                                                                                                Page

The implementation of the MaFI-festo will be done following three guiding principles: Collaboration: the MaFI-festo will create appropriate conditions for trust, dialogue and mutual understanding between donors, practitioners and other key stakeholders; it is not about one actor asking the others to make changes. The MaFI- festo will promote sustained learning, convergence and collaboration. Engagement: the MaFI-festo will be used by MaFI members to engage, coordinate and make synergies with other organizations or networks who are pursuing similar objectives. Practicality: theMaFI-festo is designed to achieve real change that has real impacts on the work of field facilitators. The MaFI-festo is not only about imagining new solutions but also about learning from donors and practitioners who are already embracing market facilitation approaches and successfully changing the rules of the game of the international cooperation system. 6. Potential Partnerships: This initiative requires collaboration and coordination with NGOs, networks and donors who are keen on promoting effective international aid or are already taking steps to improve 2 Page 1 The MaFI-festo will give content to the MaFI-festo Dialogues.

Outcomes: It is impossible to predict which specific principles, rules or procedures the MaFI-festo Dialogues will be able to change. This is a highly political and complex process that has to engage the will and resources of several stakeholders (e.g. donors and networks). However, it is safe to assume that the following outcomes will result out of this initiative: A more enabling environment of rules, principles and procedures for inclusive market development initiatives using facilitation approaches Improved relationships between practitioners and donors. These relationships are fundamental for a sustained process of learning, adaptation and innovation around effective use of resources to make market systems work for poverty reduction at scale and environmental protection. 8. Outputs or products: Syntheses of the local and international discussions:these will be an important reference point for policy-makers or researchers of international cooperation. A series of case studies with lessons about how to implement facilitation-friendly rules and principles on the ground (also the challenges involved) and evidence about their impacts on responsiveness, innovation, sustainability, cost-efficiency and scale up. Local and international seminars and workshops (a key space for this will be the SEEP AC and events organised by SEEP members). These spaces will be co-financed by the hosts and other stakeholders. 9. Duration: 2-3 years (NOTE: this project document focuses on year 1 mainly) 3 Page
