SWG RRD - Standing Working Group for Regional Rural Development in SEE’s Post

I am thrilled to announce the completion of a course in the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). The APRM is a critical tool for African nations to assess their progress, identify challenges, and collectively work towards sustainable solutions for political, social, and economic development. Through this course, I have gained valuable insights into promoting participatory leadership and enhancing governance structures that are inclusive and effective. As we strive to build stronger institutions and empower communities, I remain committed to contributing to Africa’s vision for sustainable development and transformational leadership. Here’s to advancing #GoodGovernance, #Leadership, and #Accountability in Africa! 💡

What We're Reading 📚: Rethinking aid system narratives: The case for collaborative leadership How can we think about disasters, either natural or conflict-related, as part of the larger aid system as opposed to one-off events? This paper from The Humanitarian Leader "reflects on the ways of thinking and incentives that shape the behaviour that leads to the perpetuation of this siloed and reactionary system and argues that there is a need to re-frame disasters as contextual factors rather than exceptional events within the development framework. Additionally, there is a need to support leaders who collaborate, instead of working to achieve individual success for their department or institution, and to strengthen accountability to make the development and humanitarian system more effective in supporting disaster affected and at-risk communities."

Supporting the Convener: ➡Inviting on behalf of the Convener. ➡Keep Convener informed of any major developments. ➡Communicate in advance what is needed from the Convener. ➡Utilize the Convener's time strategically. Expert Steve Greenwood from National Policy Consensus Center, Oregon, outlines the keys to success in having Elected Officials as Conveners. #OregonModel #LeadersAsConveners

Green Transition projects will have an impact on the local nature and residents. What role can local policy makers play in resolving the conflict? The National Policy Consensus Center has extensive experience in working with leaders as conveners. Solving public problems often requires the bringing together of a range of interest groups. Who 'convenes' the various stakeholders, and how? Expert Steve Greenwood from Oregon outlines the keys to success in Akordi's event. 💡 “Leaders bring to the task of resolving public issues status, authority, control and information. But what is missing here? Leadership. Leadership to convene key stakeholders to work together and solve the problem,” points out Steve Greenwood. 💡 “Role of the convener is not a fasilitator nor a chair. It includes power for example in: framing the problem, creating trust and challenging the group to do better,” defines Steve Greenwood. 💡 Elected officials have a great opportunity to share success and recognition, and to translate the success of the group to the success of individual members of the group. The webinar is produced in collaboration with TAH Foundation and Puistokatu 4. You will find the recording soon afterwards on Akordi’s webpage (link in the comments). #OregonModel #LeadersAsConveners

The Fellows recognize the aforementioned complex challenges and are implementing different (food) systems actions to tackle to reverse, prevent or reduce the negative outcomes of landscape degradation in the country.
