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 NGOs. 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.

www.ituc-csi.org
11
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.

www.ituc-csi.org
12
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 (Womens 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.

www.ituc-csi.org
13
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 CSOs 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.

www.ituc-csi.org
14
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, MEPs, 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.

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).

www.ituc-csi.org
17
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.
