Some problems are simply too complex to solve with any single approach
‘Nothing will work, but everything might’
Clay Shirky
![Page 3: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The social sector has 1.4 million nonprofit organizations, most of which work independently, and tens of thousands of government agencies which are notoriously inward-looking. When it comes to solving social problems, society often behaves like a drowning man whose arms and legs thrash about wildly in the water. We expend a great deal of energy, but because we don’t work together efficiently, we don’t necessarily move forward.
David Bornstein (2011)
Is this also true of New Zealand,albeit on a smaller scale?

‘Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination, yet the social sector remains focused on the isolated intervention of individual organizations.’
John Kania & Mark Kramer (2011)
![Page 5: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Most funders, faced with the task of choosing a few grantees from many applicants, try to ascertain which organizations make the greatest contribution toward solving a social problem. Grantees, in turn, compete to be chosen by emphasizing how their individual activities produce the greatest effect. Each organization is judged on its own potential to achieve impact, independent of the numerous other organizations that may also influence the issue. And when a grantee is asked to evaluate the impact of its work, every attempt is made to isolate that grantee’s individual influence from all other variables. In short, the nonprofit sector most frequently operates using an approach that we call isolated impact.
John Kania & Mark Kramer (2011)

Problem
Single-provider/single-programme solutions are often insufficient for complex problems
Even a range of good programmes, when not aligned, will not be as effective as a coherent collective effort
Social capital can be lost when ‘willing workers’ are discarded because their ‘underperforming’ programmes are ditched

‘collective impact’ initiativesA disciplined effort to bring together dozens or even hundreds of organizations in a city (or field) to establish a common vision, adopt a shared set of measurable goals and pursue evidence-based actions that reinforce one another’s work and further those goals.
David Bornstein (2011)

Some core activities
Communicating the challenge in simple, compelling, repetitive ways
Communicating the strategy in simple, compelling, repetitive ways
Mapping contributions to agreed outcomes & assessing degree of success using standard tools

The national backbone support organisations for Ready By 21 are
(the ‘managing partner’)a key ‘signature partner’ (United Way),
‘mobilization partners’ and
‘technical partners’
![Page 30: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Reasons for success?
• Fit all the success criteria for ‘collective impact initiatives’
• Instigated in civil society, not by a particular government
![Page 31: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Proposal:
A collective impact initiative based on
Ready By 21-like methodology +
the human rights framework
![Page 32: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why use the human rights framework?
1. It gives emphasis to the moral/legal imperative
Action for children is not just another priority; we have moral and legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of children
![Page 33: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why use the human rights framework?
2. Provides a broadly-agreed accountability framework for human and societal development, applying to all actors
New Zealand has voluntarily entered into legally-binding commitments to our children.
All agencies, groups and individuals have responsibilities, and the state (and its agents) are accountable through treaty-reporting and other systems
![Page 34: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why use the human rights framework?
3. A common framework for cross-disciplinary/ sector collaboration, anchored in something deeper that professional ethics & policy of the day
Different frameworks used by different professionals, sectors and agencies can be a stumbling block to shared understanding, aligned effort and collaboration, and effectiveness.
![Page 35: Towards a collective impact initiative for children?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816304550346895dd37d2a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why use the human rights framework?
4. Includes functional principles such as non-discrimination, participation & empowerment, responsibility
Established human rights principles reflect effective working principles
