8. 2005 Institutional Review 3 Options Recommended for CRCID: • Disband; • Maintain Status Quo; or, • Transform CRCID

9. 2005 Institutional Review Option 1: Disband Impact upon Rotary: • Risky for Canadian clubs because it is unlikely that individual club projects would qualify for CIDA funding.

10. 2005 Institutional Review Option 2: Status Quo Impact upon Rotary: • High risk for CIDA and Rotary supporters; • Fail to capitalize on Rotary’s extraordinary potential; • Not sustainable.

11. 2005 Institutional Review At the 2005 CRCID AGM the Board and membership approved the decision to transform the organization according to option 3

12. 2005 Institutional Review Option 3: Transformation Impact Upon Rotary: • Conflicts with traditional Rotary culture; • Most challenging of the 3 options; • Once completed holds greatest promise for lasting impact on a large scale.

13. How to Transform CRCID? • Needed to first review recent trends in development to determine “how much of a transition was necessary”. • Noted that there have been 3 waves of development over past 40+ years.

14. 3 Waves of Aid • Tradition of charity • Help those less fortunate; • Service above Self; • Most WCS part of this wave; • Drawbacks: • Small scale in relation to problem; • Little impact on widespread or endemic issues. • Not necessarily consistent with country priorities

15. 3 Waves of Aid • Basic Human Rights • Large scale gov’t to gov’t funding; • Improved governance in developing countries; • Drawbacks: • Bureaucracy/red tape; • Inefficiency & waste • Beneficiaries not involved in decision-making processes.

16. 3 Waves of Aid • Entrepreneurial • Focus on programs rather than projects. • Support sustainable development efforts as identified by beneficiaries to reduce poverty. • Drawbacks: • New approach & too early to determine effectiveness • Paradigm shift for many organizations, including CRCID

17. Projects to Programs Projects • Weaknesses: • Uncoordinated development for region or country • Focus on individual communities; • Capacity drain caused by managing multiple projects; • Short life cycle (1-3 yrs.)

18. Projects to Programs Programs • Definition: • A Program is a multitude of projects implemented in a coordinated way to address a sector wide concern • Strengths of Programs: • Coordinated development for region or country; • Single management process; • Longer life cycle (3+ yrs.)

19. CRCID Program Model $ Rotary Program $ Related Club Project 1 Related Club Project 2 Related Club Project 3

20. Geographic Focus • CRCID initially mandated to fund projects in any ODA (Official Development Assistance) country. • 2003 CIDA recommended geographic focus because: • Insufficient funding to make impact; • Easier for monitoring & evaluation. • Initially selected 7 Rotary Districts: • 3280; 4690; 4250; 9100; 9200; 9210; and, 9250 • Reduced to 10 countries within 7 Districts for 2006/09 program: • Based upon where approved programs being implemented
