Partnering with Civil Society. 12 Lessons from DAC Peer Reviews. OECDDominique Gross
This booklet is about partnerships between DAC members and civil society organisations (CSOs) which can serve many purposes. These include, as reflected in the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (2011), supporting the vital role that CSOs play in enabling people to claim their rights, in promoting rights-based approaches, in shaping development policies and partnerships and in overseeing their implementation, in providing services in areas that are complementary to those provided by states and in contributing to and raising public awareness about global development challenges and results. Partnerships related to humanitarian assistance are examined in more detail in an earlier publication in this series: “Towards Better Humanitarian Donorship: 12 Lessons from DAC Peer Reviews” (OECD, 2012a).
Despite the significant share of official development assistance (ODA) flowing to and through CSOs (16.2% of ODA of DAC member countries in 2010), there are few shared guidelines, benchmarks or documented good practices that DAC members can follow when partnering with civil society. At the same time, DAC peer reviews provide recommendations, evidence and examples of how different members work with CSOs, the challenges they face and good practice.

Introduction
Since 2012, the aim of this research has been to analyze the current situation of national and international associations
based in Spain. Once again the report has focused in identifying current trends in management, areas of improvement, and
challenges for the future, new technologies, and funding patterns.
This third edition has been mainly focused in areas identified as the most relevant ones during the two Round Table sessions
organized by MCI in May 2014 in Barcelona, and in November in Madrid. The key issues identified were:
New generations:
How to integrate them
into having an active
participation within the
associations?
How to improve the relation between the
association and its members?
How to increment value to the services offered
to members?
Which are the key factors in capturing
sponsorship?
How are the associations facing the future?
Strategy &
Development:
What can
associations do in
order to grow and be
able to capture new
members?
Communication:
Many associations
have an active
presence on social
networks, is there a
communication plan
or a global strategy
behind it?
Attendance
to the events:
On average only 30-
50% of the members
attend the annual/
biannual society
congress.

Report on Associations in Spain 2014
Interview: EuCheMS
EuCheMS is an organization which includes 42 societies
as members from 32 different countries and represents
around 156,000 people (data 2014).
The activities EuCheMS has, as a supranational institution,
are centered in:
• Increasing Chemists importance in Europe as one
voice.
• Creating a European “corporate identity” among
Chemical Societies.
• Show Chemistry to European, International and
other institutions, as an essential and key provider for
global challenges.
EuCheMS in a great society which includes many members
and different Chemistry Associations. It is composed of 18
divisions and working groups. Could you explain to us how
they were created and which are its main aims?
Divisions and working groups have been created to address
the needs of members in our societies in different Chemistry
areas. All of these societies held biannual conferences unless
the EuCheMS Chemistry Congress is celebrated.
Many of them organize Summer courses, are involved in other
conferences, help to design the ECC scientific programme
and also celebrate awards.
Some of them have been working for more than 40 years
while others have just started. There are two types of working
groups. Part of them are small groups which work certain
areas of chemistry mostly, and some have been created to
become a division once they have enough support from the
Partners Societies. Divisions and working groups are the key
of EuCheMS success.
Interview to Professor David Cole-Hamilton, Presi-
dent of EuCheMS, European Association for Chemi-
cal and Molecular Sciences.
Many societies are worried about keeping their members
and work on their capacitation but only a few of them conduct
frequent researches in order to analyze their members
satisfaction. What does EuCheMS do to attract and keep its
members? Which is its main added value?
At the moment, EuCheMS is preparing an Strategic Planning
Exercise. One of the groups that has been created, will be
mainly focused on the interaction between EuCheMS Centre
with Member Societies. The idea is assessing exactly what the
memberswouldliketohavefromEuCheMSandthebestwayto
be in contact with professionals. This group will also study how
diversity could be incorporated to all those activities in which
EuCheMS and its divisions/working groups, are involved. The
pan-european character helps to EuCheMS cohesion and we
are trying to make the Member Societies aware, through the
General Assembly, including all the Presidents of Societies
and assisting members, of what we are doing for them.
11. 11
Some societies have a relatively little participation by their
younger members, who prefer being at the background, and
let the more experienced ones be in active role. How involved
are the youngest members in EuCheMS and which are the
challenges the organization has to face on this issue?
EuCheMSmembersarepartofayouthorganization,theYoung
European Chemists Net, They participate in ECC, having their
own scientific presentations and transferable skills, and have
their own Delegate Assembly once a year, and it lasts some
days. They have gained sponsors, have created bonds with
other national societies, specially with the American Chemistry
Association, and have their own awards. They also offer
courses to young people from Member Societies. They will
held their first Pan-European Conference for Young Chemists
Conference, associated with the Portuguese Young Chemists
Meeting, held in Portugal in April 2016. Young European
Chemists Net is one of the most active and dynamic member
of EuCheMS.
Which are the most important challenges and aims EuCheMS
will have to face in the near future?
The main aim is to be the first reference to all European
Institutions in topics related to Chemistry and keep on being
an independent and trusted voice in Chemistry’s world.
EuCheMS also wants to affect the development of European
politics, in order to Chemistry continue being considered as
the exciting subject it is. Moreover, they want the politicians
to see the importance Chemistry has. We are building ECC
(Sevilla 2016 and Liverpool 2018), so attending this Congress
is an must for all Europeans Chemists and we will keep on
developing strong bonds among divisions that are part of the
chemists’ community. The main challenge is having the money
needed to do all the things we would like to do.

Report on Associations in Spain 2014
Interview: DIRCOM
Recently, the Word Public Relations Forum 2014 has taken
place in Madrid, hosted by DIRCOM. Which challenges has its
organization posed?
For DIRCOM, the WPRF Madrid 2014,has posed a top
challenge, involving certain risks, as it was the first time our
Association was hosting a worldwide event, with about one
thousand participants from over sixty countries. In order
to face this successfully, we reinforced our staff, with the
best professionals in all areas. Among them, obviously, the
PCO was critical and that is why we set off a strict selection
process, finally won by MCI Spain. Some of the key challenges
with WPRF were the institutional dimension (including the
participation of Spain’s Prime Minister in the plenary), the
economical dimension (with a very big total turnover compared
to our regular budget), the media dimension (with over 150
accredited journalists) and the corporative one (with the need
of satisfying more than twenty sponsors, among them some of
the most important companies in our country).
Which has been the impact it had in DIRCOM?
This Congress has been a milestone in DIRCOM’s history,
and apart from the satisfaction it brought in all aspects, it has
helped us reconsider our activity and mostly, our international
image. The WPRF 2014 has started a new stage in which
the international dimension and the organization of important
events, are two working paths that we see from a new point
of view. In relation to the media impact, we have beaten all
expectations. There have been 608 news generated by the
event, which have reached an audience beyond the 129
millions people worldwide. In social networks, the WRPF has
had a top potential impact of 49.6 millions users.
Interview to Sebastián Cebrián, General Manager of
DIRCOM, Association of Communication Executives.
Which has been your approach to sponsors-to-be in the
forum?
Were they receptive from the beginning, feeling it as an
opportunity, or was it a hard task for DIRCOM?
Sponsorshipalwaysrequireahardworktogetit,evenwhen,as
it is the case, most of the companies were already connected to
the Association and have supported our candidacy to Madrid
2014. An intense work was needed during the year before
the event, and we have the satisfaction for the compliments
received from the three levels of sponsorship and, also from
the exhibitors in the commercial exposition which was being
celebrated simultaneously.
17. 17
DIRCOM is member of the international organization, Global
Alliance, responsible of the event. In your opinion, has
DIRCOM’s position been reinforced in Global Alliance, before
the celebration of the WPRF2014?
Yes, undoubtedly. It was a challenge also for them due to the
low impact they had in the Latin world. It has been the first
bilingual Congress, with an important presence qualitatively,
not only from Spain but also from Latin America, specially
considering the growth GA has in that continent. DIRCOM,
which already had a representative in the executive Committee
of GA, has been reinforced, no doubt about it, in this worldwide
federation.

Digital Content
Extends Your
Congress
Life-Cycle
Making content available after
your congress or educational
event will significantly extend its
lifecycle. Content dissemination
services and portals allow
delegates to access sessions
that they may have missed, or
simply to review the sessions
most relevant to them, as many
times as they need to. Key
messages can therefore be
continually reinforced long after
the closing session is over.
To help ensure that people
are using the online content,
particularly in the early stages,
it’s vital to send reminder
messages, including the login
details for easy access.
Digital Content Creates New Revenue Streams
Digitising your content can provide a significant new revenue stream.
For its 2013 congress, ESPEN created different access models for congress delegates, with full
access to conference presentations included in a ‘Full Access Registration’ fee. The conference
attracted 2,523 delegates, 2,095 of whom (83%) chose to purchase the Full Access Registration,
making an impressive profit of over €80,000.
WGA chose to launch its educational content portal to all participants soon after the Fifth World
Glaucoma Congress. While delegates received this service as part of the overall conference
package, the educational portal offered a new revenue stream for WGA since non-congress
participants paid for access.
An additional source of revenue was created by capturing industry meetings and Glaucoma
Society symposiums during the 5th WGC at an additional fee. These symposiums were also added
to the portal.
Five reasons for content
digitalization
1
2
By MCI Group
With large volumes of information available online and with
members increasingly assessing the value gained from
membership, healthcare associations must innovate, and do
so quickly, in order to stay relevant.
A major part of this effort must be focused on driving digital
innovation, and a simple but effective place to start is by
digitising your association’s content.
From the World Glaucoma Association (WGA) to the European
SocietyforClinicalNutrition&Metabolism(ESPEN),ourexperts
have worked with a number of leading healthcare associations
to digitise their congress content, with great results.
Here are our top five reasons for taking your association’s
content digital:
22
23. 23
El contenido digital puede llegar nuevas audiencias
Digitalizar el contenido es también un modo de alcanzar uno de los objetivos de una asociación:
compartir su valioso contenido. Las comunidades que no son capaces de asistir al congreso
pueden aprovechar esta valiosa oportunidad que anteriormente no era posible.
Siguiendo el ejemplo del 5º World Glaucoma Congress, el portal de contenido fue comprado por
otras sociedades que querían ofrecer el contenido a sus propios miembros.
Éste es un magnífico ejemplo de cómo el contenido puede comercializarse no sólo a nivel
individual sino también a otras sociedades que quieran incrementar el alcance original del
congreso.
El contenido digital
proporciona valor añadido a
miembros y delegados
Un buen portal de contenido digital o de
servicio de divulgación puede aumentar
los miembros y delegados potenciales. Si
están dudando sobre darse de alta en una
sociedad o sobre asistir a un congreso, un
modelo de compartir contenido novedoso
puede ser el incentivo que necesitan para
decidirse.
Los consumidores digitales
ansían el contenido digital
Las nuevas generaciones han crecido en la
era digital y son consumidores de nuevas
tecnologías. Con motivo de aumentar su
visibilidad y empatizar con los jóvenes
profesionales (un objetivo clave de cualquier
sociedad para asegurar su futuro y relevancia)
centrarse en la innovación digital es casi una
obligación.
3

Digital Content Reaches New Audiences
Digitising your content is also a great way of fulfilling your association’s goal of spreading valuable
scientific content. Communities unable to attend the event itself, in particular those from low or
middle-income countries, can be provided with valuable learning opportunities and resources that
would previously have been unavailable.
Following the Fifth World Glaucoma Congress, the WGA’s portal was purchased by affiliated
societies to make the content available to their membership at a special buyout fee.
This is a great example of how content can be purchased not just by individuals, but by affiliated
societies who can dramatically expand the original reach of the congress.
Digital Content Provides an
Added Value for Members &
Delegates
A valuable digital content portal or dissemination
service can sway potential members or delegates. If
they’re hesitating about membership or conference
attendance, an innovative content sharing model could
be just the pull they need to sign up.
Digital Consumers
crave Digital Content!
Healthcare associations need to think
seriously about tomorrow’s members.
Today’s medical students and young
healthcare professionals have grown
up in the digital age and are digital
consumers. To increase visibility and
engage with young professionals – a
key long-term objective to ensure any
association’s future relevance – driving
digital innovation is a must!

During a round table session organized with several
societies in May 2014 in Barcelona some of the main
challenges facing associations were identified. As the most
important one was how to engage the new generations in
the activities of the society.
Some of our respondents highlighted the following for
improving their interest:
• They make promotions and disclosures at colleges.
• They offer a discount on congress’ fees for students
and post-graduate students.
In some european societies, like EuCheMS, which has
been interviewed for this report, youngest members have
their own division, in order to awaken their interest and
make them participate more actively.

Are satisfaction surveys conducted regularly to members?
Only 20-25% of the surveyed associations measure regularly the satisfaction in an structured way. Compared to previous
years in which a survey was conducted, there is no improvement noticed. There are still many associations which do not have
a standardized procedure to measure the level of satisfaction of their members, what was already striking in previous years.

Report on Associations in Spain 2014
Conclusions
Compared with previous years, quality of services
to members and the visibility of the association, are
still the most important challenges. The importance
of defining new business and the relationship with
sponsors has increased considerably.
Regarding the development of associations, we
noticed that there is a lot in process and it is
interesting to observe that the strategic initiatives
have gained importance, though still many in their
early steps.
We have also seen that there is a lack of planning
in the long term among the surveyed associations.
There has been an improvement in the use of social
media, but Spain tends to be conservative in other
issues, like mobile apps or virtual events.
There has been no improvement regarding the
measuring of members’ satisfaction.

MCI hopes that the results obtained with this report could
be of help and guide the associations on the decisions
they take, by giving them a better understanding of how
other associations work in Spain.
We thank all those people who responded the survey,
and take this opportunity to inform you that the next
research will take place during 2015. Further information
regarding the research of any area presented, we are at
