6. MSP Generic Process Model Collaborative Action Adaptive Planning Initiating Reflective Monitoring

7. Initiating Clarify the reasons for an MSP Undertake initial situation analysis (stakeholders, issues, institutions, power and politics) Establish an interim steering body Build stakeholder support Establish the scope, mandate and stakeholder expectations Outline the process, time frame, institutional requirements and resources needs Throughout: learning – monitoring and adapting

Adaptive Planning Build stakeholders understanding of each other’s values, motivations, concerns and interests Generate visions for the future (Theories of change) Identify issues, problems and opportunities Examine future scenarios and feasible options Make decisions and agree on key strategies Set objectives and identify actions, timeframes and responsibilities Document and communicate planning outcomes Throughout: learning – monitoring and adapting

9. Collaborative Action Develop integrated initiatives and detailed action plans Secure resources and technical support Develop capacity of stakeholders Establish required management structures and procedures Manage the implementation process Maintain stakeholder commitment Throughout: learning – monitoring and adapting

10. Reflective Monitoring Create a learning culture and environment Define success criteria (performance questions and indicators) Develop and implement monitoring mechanisms Review and evaluate progress and identify lessons Feed lessons learned back into strategies and implementation procedures

11. Group work Explore the case you are dealing with and look at the whole process (all stages of the cycle):  Go through process model “guidelines” and note: What will be the key steps to take (have we missed something so far?) What shall we do differently (e.g. things to add)?  What have been / will be the key challenges in the process? (note these while you work on section 1)  Conclusions: About the process model guidelines: is it helpful? How can we use it?
