1. Réunions du réseau
–
–
–
–
Tous les deux ans, une Conférence sur la Coopération au
Développent rassemblera tous les partenaires. La Conférence
proposera un plan d’action aux instances de la CSI.
Des réunions réguliers du Réseau permettront aux partenaires
de suivre de manière permanente la réalisation du plan d’action,
de préparer les exercices de « benchmarking » et l’exchange de
bonnes pratiques dans la coopération au développent syndical.
Le réseau peut convoquer des réunions d’experts sur des
éléments particuliers tels que l’Education au Développent ou la
méthodologie PME , ou encore organiser des séminaires
politiques sur des questions tel que l’Efficacité ou l’Architecture
Internationale de l’Aide, .. Sur des questions particulières des
initiatives de lobby envers des décideurs nationaux, Européens
et internationaux pourraient être organisées.
Un secrétariat léger sera chargé de préparer et d’organiser les
différentes réunions et initiatives. Le secrétariat du réseau sera
aussi en charge d’organiser la recherche et de la préparation
des documents politiques pour discussion dans le réseau.

2. Banque de données sur les projets de
développement & les points de départ
pays/organisation
–
Le secrétariat du réseau rassemblera et rendra accessible toute
l’information disponible sur les programmes et projets de
développement organisés par ses membres. La majeure partie
de cet information est disponible d’une manière ou d’une autre
au niveau national (souvent dans les langues nationales) sans
que cela soit partagé avec d’autres organisations. En particulier
la coopération avec les mêmes partenaires pourraient bénéficier
d’un tel échange d’information. L’accessibilité et la mise à
disposition de telles informations est une condition pour
améliorer la coopération et donc d’une meilleure effectivité
–
La banque de données sera développée par le secrétariat
(soutien IT à temps partiel) en mettant à profit les expériences
avec des banque de données qui existent chez les membres ou
ailleurs.

3. Réalisation d’outils de communication
– Une page web mettra à disposition les informations à jour
sur les programmes de coopération syndicale, et sur les
développements concernant ex. les programmes de l’UE.
Une attention particulière sera donné à la réalisation de
l’Agenda du Travail Décent à travers les politiques et
programmes de développent de l’UE (& autres). Le site
devra aussi inclure des liens avec d’autres sites d’intérêt de
OSC et autres institutions (NU, OCDE, OIT, UE,..)
– Un e-bulletin attirera l’attention sur les évolutions
pertinentes dans le secteur de la coopération au
développement.
– Une section réservée aux membres donnera accès aux
documents du réseau, facilitera les initiatives communes et
mettra à disposition les informations contenues dans les
banques de données.

4. Benchmarking on Trade Union cooperation
4.1 Comparison of the different TU support schemas
–
In the EU and more broadly in the OECD Countries different approaches
exist towards the trade unions as actors in development. Many
governments do still not recognise the Trade Unions as (potential)
development actors; others consider them to be NGO’s. A few have
specific union centred approaches and support schemes.
–
Moreover, since governmental policies tend to articulate their
approaches under the DAC guidance or within the policy convergence
operation of the EU, this is the right time to start also establishing some
common benchmarks amongst the national governmental approaches
and when appropriate at European and/or DAC level.
–
The research and policy officer will coordinate this research in
cooperation with the national officers responsible for the relations with
the governmental development structures. These results will be
publicised and shared with decision makers in an advocacy event in
favour for identifying and enhancing the specificity of the trade unions
role as development cooperation actor.

4. Benchmarking on Trade Union cooperation
4.2 Mapping of methodological requirements and other
conditionalities
–
A variety of methodological approaches, based on national conditionality
in the donor countries co-exists within the EU and the OECD (also within
the trade union movement). Consultations exists that have already
identified a number of these methodological problems. The Network
would take this reflection further and aim at involving all players on the
trade union development cooperation field.
–
Within the framework of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, the
Trade Union movement will also engage in critically look at its own
practice of and contribution to Development Effectiveness.
–
The secretariat will do a mapping of the methodological questions based
on the input of the members. Discussion papers for improved
harmonisation or standard setting will be tabled at the networking
meetings for consideration and implementation.
11
8-9/10/8008
www.ituc-csi.org
5. Gender analysis of programmes
– A specific gender mainstreaming team will be examining the
gender mainstream in the trade union development programmes
and practices (including the working of the network). It will report
on this to the Conference and to the appropriate ITUC body
(Women’s’ Committee) for further follow up. Special attention will
be paid to the participation of women in the seminars and network
meetings.
– The secretariat will serve the working of the gender mainstreaming
team and assist in the analysis to be carried out and in the drafting
of the findings. The secretariat will include the specific gender
requirements and rules that are of application within the ITUC.
12
8-9/10/8008
www.ituc-csi.org
6. Awareness raising and research
6.1 Elaboration of files with background information on challenges and
development issues at European and International level.
–
Papers and information packs (files) will be prepared for information through the
network (2 or 3). The networking meetings will identify the relevant priorities for this
information gathering and dissemination.
6.2. Publicizing of studies on Decent Work and on Aid Effectiveness
The mainstreaming of the Decent Work Agenda in the Development strategies,.
–
The network will monitor the implementation of these policies throughout specific
research and mapping with its partners in the South. Interaction will be looked for
with the Decent Work Country programmes of the ILO. A particular attention will be
paid to the identification of outcome measurement and social progress indicators.
A report will be presented to the network on the implementation of the Decent Work
agenda.
The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
–
The trade union movement, as a specific actor on the one hand and as part of the
CSO’s group on the other, will start process of assessing its own effectiveness in
development cooperation. That should also allow the trade union movement within
the context of the ongoing review of the Paris Declaration and its renewal in 2011
to articulate a comprehensive trade union position.
–
A task force could be charged to prepare a more elaborated position both with
respect of our own aid effectiveness (and methodological implications) and with
respect to the revision of the Paris Declaration in 2010.
13
8-9/10/8008

7. Advocacy
7.1 Liaising with EU & IDIs, CSO consultations and coordination
–
–
–
–
The network meetings will pay a particular attention to the ongoing consultation
processes with the EU (via i.a. the Stakeholders Advisory Group) and with other
relevant international bodies (OECD/DAC Povnet, Working Party on Civil Society
and Aid Effectiveness and Gendernet, ...) as well as UN based initiatives
(Financing for Development, UNAIDS, UNDP, ECOSOC, …).
The trade union network will also engage with CSO platforms, on thematic basis
(Aid Effectiveness International Steering Group) or on institutional grounds (Youth
Forum, CONCORD, Social Platform …).
Through a coordinated approach, the participation of the Trade Union movement in
public events on Development questions will be upgraded.
The secretariat will submit regular progress reports on the Consultation process
with the EU commission. It will also represent the network in the dialogues and
consultations with the Commission, with other CSO networks and other institutional
frameworks.
7.2 Round tables and other advocacy initiatives with national and
EU/international decision makers.
–
The networking meetings may decide to go public on the main items of its agenda
by organising press briefings, hearings with specific targeted national or
international decision makers such as EU Officials, MEP’s, Member state
representatives, CSO responsibles, academics, international decision makers
(OECD, ILO, …) and media.

8. Capacity building & training for development
officers
The training activities are aimed at 4 groups of development responsibles:
•
TU Officers from the new member states
–
•
2 seminars will be organised to allow the responsibles from new member states (NMS) to
catch up and to address their potential as actors for development. The secretariat will organise
the seminars in cooperation with the PERC/ETUC.
TU officers in the already established organisations
–
•
1 seminar will be organised for 15 (new) officers of existing trade union cooperation
organisations improving their knowledge about European and international development
policies, the European development instruments and the institutional set-up and CSO
networks. Networking skills and applications will be part of the training course.
TU responsibles on thematic issues
–
•
1 seminar to improve knowledge and new perspectives on the development related issues, in
particular those indicated as priorities (Decent Work implementation; Aid Effectiveness;
methodological aspects of development cooperation, including development education…);
TU project officers from the partners in the South
–
Regional seminars to acquire the skills and knowhow to participate actively in the development
efforts through the in-country programme and/or the regional programmes.
15
8-9/10/8008
www.ituc-csi.org
9. Supporting cooperation and project development
9.1. Technical assistance & support service for members, (helpdesk,
expertise on evaluation and monitoring
–
Follow up for individual members such as, information and documentation , sharing
of available knowledge in the network, assistance for identifying opportunities for
projects, demands for project management skills; in situ training of officers, and
support for the setting up of common projects.
9.2. Promotion of cooperation, “joint ventures”, and transnational coalition
building
–
–
Numerous organisations from the North are discovering the opportunities and the
necessity to work jointly with the same partners in the South and are looking for
ways of better coordinating their efforts amongst them and with the partner in the
South. This implies sharing of approaches, baseline analysis, strategic
programming, common partner dialogue, shared decision making and common
monitoring, reporting and evaluation methods. The regional organisations will be
important in streamlining these efforts between north and south.
The existence of the data base, the exchange opportunities through the networking
meetings and seminars will allow organisation, out of their own initiative to sit
together and start working on common programming. The networking will however
also imply that common challenges in this new multilateral cooperation are taken
up, such as common tools (PME handbooks, Outcome Mapping and LFA, common
reporting and accountability instruments).

10. Monitoring, evaluation
–
–
A monitoring and evaluation team will be designated from
the start of the project in order to facilitate the progress
monitoring and to suggest the necessary adjustments.
The monitoring team will also report at the end of the
project and organise the evaluation of the project. They
will publicize their findings and report to the ITUC.
A monitoring team will meet every 4 months to monitor
progress. Besides the meetings that can take place in the
margin of other networking meetings, two special
sessions are foreseen to allow the team to take stock of
the overall progress and/or difficulties. The secretariat will
serve as organiser and will service the team with all
necessary information and support.
