    Resource mobilization for research : what we’ve learned
    (2016) Genereux, Nicole; Taylor, Suzanne; O’Neill, Mary
    From 2011 to 2016 the Donor Partnerships Division of IDRC worked with IDRC grantees to help them increase and diversify their funding through the Resource Mobilization for Research (RMR) program. With a focus on the financial sustainability of participating grantees, the RMR program served to complement IDRC’s primary investments in research for development. Investing in organizational development enables grantees to strengthen core functions such as leadership, planning, communications, and fundraising which are connected to an organization’s transformational capacity and ability to fulfill its mandate and mission.

    What we’re learning : perspectives from a resource mobilisation for research programme
    (Inyathelo: The South African Institute for Advancement, Cape Town, ZA, 2015-09) Abrahams, Nazli; Shepherd, Lizel
    The IDRC supported the advancement of a cohort of four health research organizations in East Africa; the resource mobilization for research (RMR) project provided Inyathelo with the opportunity to work in East Africa in a sustained way. Inyathelo, the South African Institute for Advancement, encourages organizations to build relationships with key external constituencies, including the state, beneficiaries, media, their supporters and the communities in which they operate. A practitioner was assigned to coordinate site visits and learning engagements, and to perform the liaison role between Inyathelo and the IDRC, and as point person for the health research organizations.

    Seasons and sustainability : stories of organisational change
    (Inyathelo: The South African Institute for Advancement, Cape Town, ZA, 2015-09) Abrahams, Nazli; Shepherd, Lizel
    Inyathelo, the South African Institute for Advancement, encourages organizations in South Africa to build and maintain strong relationships with key external constituencies, including the state, beneficiaries, media, their supporters and the communities in which they operate in order to bring about long-lasting social change. These change stories are centred on capacity building milestones. The reflective approach to documenting capacity building, organizational, and operational processes, provides an opportunity for an organization to examine and evaluate aspects of its development, and to articulate specific projects in terms of a change story. The articles highlight four project stories.

    TIPS business model : final report
    (TIPS, 2014-11) TIPS
    Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) was originally established to support economic departments in the South African government post-1994 liberation, to provide alternative policy perspectives for the nascent democratic administration. TIPS offered organisation, facilitation, thought leadership, commissioned work and project management in a variety of ways. Historically TIPS has relied on donor funding to cover its operations and direct its efforts. After 20 years of operations, this paper provides assessment and analysis towards a new model for TIPS in view of the decline in donor funding for not-for-Profit Organizations. TIPS re-structured as a Research Organisation could answer current needs.

    (Center for Global Prosperity, Hudson Institute, Washington, DC, US, 2013) Hudson Institute. Center for Global Prosperity
    The Center for Global Prosperity (CGP)’s core product is the annual Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances, which details the sources and magnitude of private giving to the developing world. This eighth Index shows the growth in philanthropy, remittances, and private investment throughout the world. It continues to show how private financial flows have surpassed government aid, and how new forms of giving are redefining foreign assistance and economic growth. The 2013 Index breaks new ground by measuring and analyzing the financial flows of emerging economies to the developing world, including philanthropy, remittances, government aid, and private investment.

    Value-for-money discourse : risks and opportunities for R4D
    (Donor Partnerships Division, IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2013-08) IDRC. Donor Partnerships Division
    This brief examines the value-for-money (VfM) discourse, including VfM in international development and challenges of articulating VfM in research for development (R4D). It provides four practical measures R4D can use to articulate VfM, and provides some questions that can help in assessing VfM in R4D. The term (VfM) is now common in both private and public sectors, and is becoming synonymous with accountability and transparency. An example of VfM assessment – as process, could be based on a portfolio of projects; this could encompass risks, recognizing that partial success and even failure, are vital parts of the learning process.

    Levers for change : philanthropy in select South East Asian countries; final technical report (July, 2013 - January, 2014)
    (Lien Centre for Social Innovation, Singapore Management University, Singapore, SG, 2014) Upadhyay Anand, Prapti; Binte Mohamed Kadir, Mumtaz; Hayling, Crystal
    As research on philanthropy in South East Asia is scarce, the aims of this study included development of a website repository for housing research and relevant information on philanthropy both in Asia and globally, and to conduct focus group discussions on philanthropy in the region. Lack of legal recognition, limited tax incentives and absence of support services have thwarted the creation of an enabling environment for philanthropy: tax policies are either neutral or ineffective in incentivising philanthropy; opportunities for the charitably-minded to gain the skills necessary to address complex social problems are lacking; partnerships between civil society organisations and funders are rare.

    Academic review of the evaluation of partnerships in development
    (2011-12) Hollow, David
    Despite the widespread assumption that partnerships are effective, there is limited systematic evidence of a link between partnership and improved development outcomes, with a widespread lack of clarity regarding how best to ascertain the effectiveness of partnerships. Their rigorous evaluation is an emerging field of study. Hence this review engages with the relevant literature and provides an initial foundation for analysis. In recognition of the complexity and ambiguity surrounding partnership evaluation, three sets of initial framing questions are outlined along with five foundational issues in order to provide a clear platform from which to operate.

    Value for money discourse : risks and opportunities for R4D
    (IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2013-10) Hollow, David
    The increased emphasis on value for money (VfM) within international development planning represents both a challenge and an opportunity for research-focused organisations. This report provides a neutral assessment of VfM, informing and contributing to the larger ongoing conversation regarding the most appropriate and effective ways for the research for development (R4D) community to engage with the emerging discourse. The report offers four initial ways in which this may be explored. Transitioning to an assessment process which is primarily based on portfolios, rather than individual programmes would be better able to embrace risk.

The amount of work and income from consultancies that APC staff completed increased by about 10% (2010 to 2011). GEM and women's rights-related consultancies made up about 30% while the rest were consultancies related to access, internet infrastructure, and internet rights.

    Promoting Safe Abortion and Addressing Sex Selection in India: Retrospective Analysis and Strategic Priorities Paper
    (2011) International Center for Research on Women
    The International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW)’s Resourcing Reproductive Rights project is a retrospective analysis of the funding landscape of the last decade, focused on abortion in India. The study explores the relationship of funding and work on sex selection with efforts focused on promoting abortion rights and services. Broadly, all key stakeholders pointed to continuing moving forward the agenda of women’s empowerment by focusing on four key areas: improving access to safe abortion, reducing gender bias, advocating for progression in public policy, and influencing community behaviors and practices for the long term.
