  5. Objectives of today’s Webinar • Time for reflection • Compiling the best and the problematic so far • Hearing from others – stimulate our own thinking • Getting ready for a more public webinar

  6. AGENDA • Share questions and areas you would like to hear from others on (e.g. multi-stakeholder process, advocacy on care, working with private sector) • Sharing Success and Failure : what has worked and what has not • Learning from methodologies • Multi-stakeholder approaches so far • Interventions (design, planning and implementation) – advocacy and MSP experiences from Colombia • Looking forward – sharing this learning with others • WE-Care and host programmes • Check-in on our theory of change

  7. Sharing experiences, questions and learning with the group

  8. QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION POINTS • What do you want to learn from others? What is most urgent? • What do you want to share?

  9. Sharing Successes and Failures – What has not worked and what has worked well?

  10. What has not worked/failed so far in your work on WE-Care? • What was difficult and disappointing? • What would you do differently if you could do it again?

  11. What has worked well and what successes have you had with WE-Care? • What are you proud of? What has been unexpected and positive about the WE-Care project in your country? • What approaches have worked well in presenting the issue/project/research?

  12. Learning from WE-Care methodologies

  13. Learning from the RCA, HCS and Effectiveness Reviews as methodologies What worked/ what we are proud of? • Adaptable, transformative and generated important evidence • Capturing secondary activities and responsibility for care • Integrated learning and adjusted our advise based on your experiences (updated guidelines and support) What didn’t work? • Lack of questions on VAW/GBV • Need for an analytical framework for analysis (developed for central HCS analysis, planned to be developed for the RCA) • Questions on how care work is valued • Age/youth not always well captured

  14. Learning from Multi-Stakeholder Approaches and Processes

  15. Some of what has taken place so far • Philippines: validation workshops RCA and HCS participants, presentation of findings to local government bodies, integration of care initiatives in Haiyan Response • Ethiopia:multi-stakeholder validation workshops including actions moving forward, partnership with GiZ on fuel-efficient stoves • Zimbabwe: diverse stakeholders involved at local and national level, commitments from local stakeholders on water, awareness raising and capacity building will be fed into national MSP • Uganda: launch of findings from RCAs at local level, plans to work with local radios, change agents, and schools • Colombia (more later!) Please add to this from your respective countries by typing in the chat box

  16. Opportunities and Challenges with the multi-stakeholder approach Opportunities: What opportunities have you identified in your context? Were any of these unexpected? Challenges/Disappointments • What did not work? • What has been most challenging about using a multi-stakeholder approach? How: What approaches worked or did not? What have you done that most contributed to your work on WE-Care? What would be your top tips to others?

  17. Interventions: learning from designing, planning and implementing

  18. Our learning and questions about reducing and redistributing care work • Time and labour saving equipment: is the objective reducing difficulty and not reducing total hours? • Which kinds of interventions will most contribute to the objectives of the host programmes?

  19. Example from Colombia • Successful Multi-Stakeholder Forum including members of Congress, celebrities, representatives of two government ministries, academics and INGOs. Well-prepared spokeswomen of the Rural Women’s organisations! Other WE-Care and rural programmes in Africa and Asia could learn from exchange with Colombia team. • Impressive media and influencing strategy. Exploring collaborations with ‘unusual’ partners on WEE and care – rural technical education service, a celebrity chef, politicians, chat show hosts! • Many new ideas on innovative care initiatives: public sector policies, services, and comms.

  20. What are your reflections on this? • Which kind of intervention are you prioritising the most (time and labour saving equipment, shifting gender roles and attitudes, or advocacy)? • Which interventions have created most buy in, from the host programme and other stakeholders?

  21. Looking Forward Together

  22. Platforms for learning (1/2) A webinar open to Oxfam staff and partners (in May/June?) on what we doing and learning – proposed 2 slide presentation from each WE-Care country. When we would do this, who would you invite and who would present?

  23. Platforms for learning (2/2) How are we sharing our learning? • Learning in Effectiveness Reviews • GEM MEAL • Post-Ebola recovery • Grow Sell Thrive website • Webinars • Other research: IAFFE • Other? One platform has already been integrating WE-Care learning …

  24. Integrating WE-Care into the host programme

  25. Embedding WE-Care in a host programme • What has been the advantages and disadvantages of this approach? • What has changed in the host/country programme as a result of WE-Care being implemented?

  26. Check-in on the theory of change • What are your indicators of success? • At this point what do you think we are able of changing this year?

  27. Now that we are 7 months into WE-Care • Have any assumptions changed? • Is there anything you would add/remove based on your experiences so far?

  28. Last questions?

  29. Thank you all!
