Why Capitalisation?
Our knowledge on projects RESULTS is limited , no overview available Projects seem often to operate in isolation policy at local and national levels from mainstream We do not learn and we do not know if and how improving territorial development TNC is We need capitalisation for achieving the overall goal: the effective and efficient implementation of TNC programmes through generation of strategic and high quality projects
What is Capitalisation?
Capitalisation consists of a systematic collection, analysis and dissemination of knowledge on (good and bad) practices in TNC projects to be integrated in mainstream policies. It is a process to make joint cooperation results visible and experience shared.
A knowledge management/system organisation (MED TNC programme) should be set up: between MA/JTS, Project leaders and partners, stakeholders in a learning
What Knowledge in Capitalisation?
It is mainly experience capitalisation thematic poles : transition from experiences to shareable knowledge on TNC projects per
It is a collective exercise that generates lessons learnt, good/bad practices, innovations (positive changes at project, programme level and policies).
The knowledge must be formalised, available, accessible, disseminated .
Capitalisation on what?
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)
Partnership and key actors (in the projects with capacity to produce results) Governance (multi-level and multi-actor coherence, coordination and complementarity for achieving results) Networking (added value of TNC) Delivery and Innovation (outputs of the projects) Mainstreaming (effect on policies) Integration (combination of themes, instruments/actors for more results) Sustainability (duration over the end of the project) Be transferable (practices beyond contextual factors)
Quality and Results
Key dimensions Partnership and key actors Key questions Which are partner’ specific resources and competences that generate results? Governance Networking Which kind of coordination with institutions/actors was decisive to generate results? Which kind of networking produce more results?
Delivery and innovation Which kind of deliverables/outputs produce more results? Which are innovatives?
Key dimensions Key questions Mainstreaming Are norms, procedures, structures, investment decisions at policy level changed? How was it achieved?
Integration Sustainability Be transferable Which kind of combination between themes, actors and instruments generate results?
Which factors of the project produce sustainability? Are instruments and procedures lasting? And results?
Which are the elements (method, outputs, …) of the project transferable?
What Tools?
Tools for the socialisation and formalisation of tacit knowledge :
surveys and case studies
Peer assist, after action review, mentoring and coaching between projects;
Communities of practices, forums and meetings, trainings and seminars, knowledge fairs;
Electronic databases, magazine and newsletters.
How to promote and implement Capitalisation?
Implement capitalisation from the beginning! Through:
Programme requirements in the project cycles: to introduce capitalisation (questions and information collection) in the projects phases
financing specific cross-cutting capitalisation projects
support processes (experts and instruments: intelligent database on experiences)
information and publicity activities
Examples
Baltic Sea Region Programme Capitalisation & Fast Track project comprises: type is foreseen. It
Networks to be set up for each theme regions with specific experience and those having special interest bringing together
Transfer of good practices identified by networks in Convergence and Competitiveness programmes = building bridges among programmes
Baltic Metropoles Network
The Action Plan 2008-2010 establishes a specific focus on capitalisation activities . BaltMet will promote:
cooperation and exchange of best practices city administrators, among the
facilitating mobility of city professionals, academic institutions and enterprises (BaltMet Exchange),
and information (BaltMet InfoForum)
Questions for the working groups
Which expectations do you have from capitalisation?
WHAT are you doing in your project (main activities and outputs, expected results)? What do you like to KNOW from other experiences? Which are the key questions? On what concentrate?
HOW do you want to LEARN? What knowledge activities/products should be implemented (surveys, seminars, peer groups, web forum/blogs, study visits, communities of practices per dimension, …)?
Capitalisation is a participative learning process: WHO are the actors? Are you available to provide information? How much? Do you need support? Which kind of support? Which may be the coordination among the Secretariat and the projects? Who does what?
