URBACT METHOD
Main Challenges
› How to organise transnational exchanges as a learning process in order to have a local impact on the partner cities
› How to build useful knowledge for the outside world with experiences from partner-cities
1. EXCHANGES2. CAPITALISATION3. COMMUNICATION-DISSEMINATION
THE URBACT METHOD
Urbact video
Transnational exchange and learning activities
Integrated Approach : social, economic, physical, environment
Participative Approach : URBACT Local Support Groups
Action-oriented : Local Action Plans
Support to networks» Expert support» Secretariat support» Capacity building
Working with Managing Authorities
1. Transnational exchanges
Thematic poles clustering networks along cross-cutting themes
Synthesis publications building on networks’ results (URBACT TRIBUNE, URBACT Results, etc.)
Seminars, conferences
2. Building knowledge – Capitalisation
3. Communication and Dissemination
› A flagship website www.urbact.eu
› Each network in charge of their own mini-site
› National Dissemination Points
› Using the social networks: blog, Facebook, Twitter
› Events, publications
To promote and to disseminateTo reach practionners throughout Europe
Group discussion
› What will be the added value of applying the URBACT Method to address local problems/ policy challenges?
› What are the main challenges you see in applying the URBACT Method in your city?
ULSG ROADMAP
ULSG Roadmap puzzle
The core components of the ULSG Roadmap
SETTING UP YOUR ULSG
› No “one size fits all” format/ composition
› Composition depends on policy challenge you intend to address, on local realities and “history”
› ULSG should be fit for co-production of an integrated action plan, with no secured funding for implementation
need to be clear on the roadmap and expected roles & outcomes
› Setting up your ULSG is the first step, but not a one-step process iterative process along the way
› In any case, build on your local assets!
build on what is already in place – avoid redundancy
Title of presentation I Tuesday 26 March 2013 I Page 21
SETTING UP YOUR ULSG – Food for thought
› What is your experience of participative processes at local level?
› Have you already set up your ULSG? Have you built on an existing body?
› Do you think this process is completed?
RUNNING YOUR ULSG
› Leadership› Trust› A shared roadmap (objectives, activities, time frame,
resources, expected outputs/ outcomes, etc.)› Support function› Communications (internal and external)
How do you build trust?
How do you deliver effective meetings?
What is in your communication plan ?
RUNNING YOUR ULSG – Food for thought
GETTING RESULTS – THE LOCAL ACTION PLAN
› No URBACT template: should be a useful tool for you to address your policy challenge/ pbm, tailored to your local situation
• existing strategy?• existing action plan?• none of the above?
› But key principles- integrated action plan- reflect the transnational learning- evidence of participative process
25
How do you make sure your action plan takes into account the initial policy context (existing policies, strategies, etc.)?
What are the key components of your Local Action Plan ?
GETTING RESULTS – THE LOCAL ACTION PLANFood for thought
TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
You are here because you are partner in an URBACT transnational network
ULSG and LAP should be integrated in the transnational exchange and learning activities
- ULSG members should benefit from these- ULSG members should contribute to these
Learning/ sharing good practices, innovative solutions, etc. takes place through:
- Taking part in transnational meetings (peer reviews, site visits, workshops… including your network final conference!)
- Hosting transnational meetings
How to maximize the transnational opportunity?
How to ensure appropriate involvement of elected officials?
Title of presentation I Tuesday 26 March 2013 I Page 27
TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVITIES – Food for thought
CAPACITY-BUILDING
› National training for ULSG members
› Pilot Training for elected representatives
› URBACT Summer University (28-30 August 2013, Dublin)
› And… consider your own ULSG as a capacity-building opportunity for persons involved
Title of presentation I Tuesday 26 March 2013 I Page 28
PROJECTS MARKETPLACE
› Purpose
To provide participants with the opportunity to learn about each others’ projects
› Poster
Present your network and local challenge on a poster
› Gallery walk
Time to take a look at all posters and learn about other networks!
PROJECTS MARKETPLACE
Working with your ULSG colleagues, prepare a poster describing your URBACT network
•Topic addressed by the network•Project partners•Your local challenge•First ideas for LAP goals•Keywords for your network•How does success look like?•Main challenges you face/ Interesting solutions you
have developed and would like to share
PROJECTS MARKETPLACE
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS
????? Stakeholders ??????
Stakeholders are people or organizations, with a vested interest in
the policy challenge/ problem to be addressed & in the policy/ action plan to
be developed and implemented
Group discussion
Why do we need stakeholders?
› To get relevant inputs (on causes/consequences and needs) for analysing and defining problems and priorities
› To get relevant inputs for problem solving and action-planning
› To ensure implementation of the LAP
› To ensure financial support
› To develop ownership of actions defined to ensure support for an effective implementation
Stakeholder involvement – Why ?
Stakeholder involvement – Who?
› Target beneficiaries/ end users (incl. representatives of civil
society, private sector/ businesses, other public institutions
concerned e.g. education)
› Different departments/ services within the local administration
(working across sectors to foster the integrated approach)
› Different territorial levels concerned (district, city, metrop area,
region?)
› Key local decision-makers, including local elected
representatives (mayor, councillors, etc.)
› Potential funders including Managing Authority of Operational
Programmes (ERDF or ESF)
› Key players in the delivery of your Local Action Plan
Engaging with stakeholders
› Engage with stakeholders in an open process
› Ensure inclusiveness and equal treatment for all
› Provide information that is readily understandable
› Present clear outline of:- framework and purpose of the participative process (incl. URBACT network)
- Timeframe
- resources available
- expected outcomes and outputs
- expected contributions from the different players and what they can get out of it (incl. taking part to transnational exchange and learning activities, receiving training through the National Training Seminar, the URBACT Summer University, etc.)
› Incorporate stakeholder feedback and finalise ULSG roadmap !
Start from what already exists, building outwards
Customise invitations
Use both online and face to face means
Pay attention to the interests at stake
What are the main issues around stakeholders engagement?
Have you developed efficient ways to address them when setting up your ULSG?
Engaging with stakeholders – Food for thought
Stakeholder analysis - Tools
› Stakeholder analysis table
Primary/Secondary: whether the stakeholder is directly affected or not by the policy
› Interest/ Influence matrix
Interest/Influence: the stakeholder’s stake in the policy issue, and their actual power to affect policy making/ implementation

› Are you sure to have all relevant stakeholders on board?
› Have you properly identified the primary and secondary ones?
› Were you able to define their level of influence to the concerned problem?
› Were you able to define mechanisms for addressing their interests? Which ones?

LOCAL INPUT by Host institution
DEFINING PROBLEMS
Defining problems
› People have a powerful desire to perceive the reality as they think they perceive it
› Breaking free of a definition of reality accepted and expected by people is extremely difficult
› First stage of a policy process is to reach an agreed and shared definition of the problem to be addressed
Problem definition is a key step in the process
… and should be achieved through a participative approach in your ULSG
› Identify causes of the problem
› Help to bond ULSG members together
› Build stakeholder consensus on problem to be tackled
› Identify potential constraints and possible lines of action
›Start with reviewing the problem in its complexity›Address and integrate stakeholders’ diversity of perceptions and interpretation ›Review the evidence base and check if further evidence is needed›Define a shared problem statement
Defining problems
Problem analysis – Tool “problem tree”
Identifying causes and effects to frame the problem
› Identify immediate and direct causes of the problem› Identify immediate and direct effects of the problem› Show the cause and effect relationships› Review the tree, verify its validity and completeness
