The Corporate RMMS

• Supports programming at all levels •Encourages and supports subsidiary RM strategies at:

-Regional/Subregional Level – in support of Regional Priority Areas of Action/RRs, and Regional DRM Strategies

- Country Level – in support of the CPF/PoA and/or UNDAF, and where applicable in support of the CAPs and/or Humanitarian Strategies

Scope of the Corporate RMMS

1. Consolidating and expanding resource partnerships

2. Communicating priorities for RM

3. Enhancing RM capacities

4. Effectively manage and report on resources

RMMS – Outcomes

RM roles and responsibilities Corporate-level: the TC Department has the lead role, OSP, OCE, TDs/Strategy Team Leaders have a key function

Regional level: ADG oversees all RM activities, with specific responsibilities assigned to FP Officers and TOs

Subregional level: the SRC manages all resource mobilization efforts with support from TOs and FP Support and Monitoring Officers, and the Regional Emergency Coordinator (where present)

Country level: FAOR lead role supported by the AFAOR, the Chief TA, and the Emergency Coordinator

IT’S TEAMWORK!

Presentation 2: CPF Cycle and RM

RM linked to phase 1

Within Phase 1 of the CPF Cycle:

Within Phase 3 of the CPF Cycle:CPF results matrix will help you:

•Define the outcomes and outputs you aim to engage resource partners on – who may fund a % of the CPF, or wish to see a project packaged around a particular CPF outcome

•The RM target will become clearer – make sure it is realistic!

•This will lead to step (3)

Group Work: Designing an RM action plan

• Check you are ready to start... is your CPF in place?

• Strategically position FAO... does FAO have a clear comparative advantage/niche?

• Review priorities and the resource requirements... what is realistic?

• Analyse the resource environment... who is out there?

Are you ready to start?

• Establish the goal, outcomes, key outputs and guiding principles... is RM considered important to the everyday?

• Identify resource partners and match interests to priority areas... find out who is really interested

• Develop an Action plan (identify, engage, negotiate, manage and report and communicate results)... get practical and make it your everyday.

Consult the corporate RM intranet for updates on corporate guidelines and opportunities in RM

Assign donor focal points within the office team

Strengthen a team approach to RM by having regular meetings, information sharing, updating knowledge through training and developing contacts

Integrate RM activities into the Office’s work plan

Teamwork – getting started

• Brainstorm a SWOT with regards to RM in your country (10 mins)

• List the top 3-5 resource partners you aim to engage? (10 mins)

• Can your country office start to build an RM Action Plan? Ref page 56 of the RM Guide (20 mins)
