  • power point presentation ( ppt)

Report

The report describes the issues raised and agreements reached during the workshop. It reflects the south/recipient perspective in the context of the donor-recipient partnership and makes recommendations for improved cooperation. The meeting also provided a platform for the delegates, coming from a variety of sport & development initiatives and structures (both governmental and non-governmental), to share best practices and ideas, to network with one another, to learn more about foreign and local resources available and to discuss a common approach towards donors and for successful partnerships with donors.

Workshop

The workshop, which brought together delegates from Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Kenya and Zambia was generously funded by Commonwealth Games Canada, who also provided the facilitator, Jennifer Birch Jones. The workshop was hosted by SCORE (Sports Coaches' OutReach).

Although specific recipient/donor partnerships were discussed and used as examples during the workshop, references to specific donors are not reflected in the report (or the workshop minutes). This was agreed by the delegates, as it was felt that the emphasis should be on enhancing the partnerships between recipients and donors generally, and that this was not a platform to discuss specific donors. It was felt that if donors wanted specific feedback from recipient partners, they should approach them directly.
