Strengthening Civil Society Support to Farmers' Organizations for Improved Agricultural Development JAN 2018 - NCE 6 mos. owing to grantees

Building on its previous work with IFAD-funded projects in the area of food security and agriculture, InterAction aims to enable farmers’ organizations, CSOs, and national NGO networks to enage more strategically and effectively in national agricultural development policy debates, advocacy, and partnerships. This project has three objectives: 

1. Participating organizations establish more effective strategies, partnerships, and program approaches by gaining skills in the use of NGO Aid Map.
2. Participating organizations become more effective conveners, consensus seekers, and networkers by gaining skills in multi-stakeholder engagement.
3. Participating organizations become more strategic, selective, and influential advocates for a more enabling policy and program environment for agricultural development and rural transformation.
Improving Outcomes for Refugees and Persons of Concern by Investing in NGO-UNHCR Partnerships and Collaboration Contribute to the roll-out and refinement of UNHCR partnership policies and guidance such as the Enhanced Framework for Implementing with Partners (FIP) as well as the revision of the Operations Management Handbook.
NGO Aid Map: Strengthening NGO Capacity for Data Sharing NGO Aid Map has continued to grow and thrive since it launched in 2010. To date, we have collected data on over 14,000 projects from 136 organizations in 182 countries. This represents close to $15 billion in programs. Our long-term vision is to transform the platform into one that visualizes what all NGOs are doing around the world. Although we know this will take time, we believe we have built a strong foundation for getting there. In order to succeed, we need to gather more NGO data and to ensure that this data is valuable to multiple audiences. To achieve this, we will continue to focus on making it easier for members to provide data, while also implementing strategies that will make it worthwhile to share data through added incentives. The goal and objectives for this next phase of work are as follows:

Goal: To improve the effectiveness of aid efforts by making comprehensive, high quality information on NGO aid activities public in a timely and accessible manner.

Objectives:
1.	Increase the number of organizations participating in NGO Aid Map
2.	Improve the quality of the data on NGO Aid Map 
3.	Increase the value of NGO aid data to key users, e.g.  NGOs, the media, and private sector
Global Standard for CSO Accountability The goal of this project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), is to strengthen civil society organizations' effectiveness by developing globally aligned, strong accountability practice. It has three objectives: 1) to improve CSO accountability codes and practice; 2) to reduce the transaction costs related to overlaps between multiple codes; and 3) to contribute to a more enabling environment for CSOs. Led by the International Civil Society Centre, the project brings together eight well-established civil society accountability networks from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North and South America. These partners include: ACFID (Australia), Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC), INGO Accountability Charter (Europe), NGO Quality Assurance Certification Mechanism (QuAM) in Uganda, Rendir Cuentas (Latin America), Viwango (Kenya), Voluntary Action Network India (VANI), and InterAction.
InterAction Grasstops Outreach and Education Program Support the management and staffing of activities to engage and organize InterAction member organizations in grasstops efforts to educate Congress on the importance and value of U.S. international assistance for poverty and emergency relief.
Increasing Sector Capacity through Leadership: A UPS and InterAction Partnership (2016) Increase InterAction members' capacity to collaborate in partnerships with the private sector via leadership development.
Strengthening NGO Roles and Capabilities to Scale-up Agricultural Development The goal of this project is to support country-owned agricultural development and reduce rural poverty in developing countries by identifying NGO best practice pathways for local partner capacity building and to provide food security experts with comprehensive, relevant data in an accessible, user-friendly way to promote more informed decisions about policy and programming. The three objectives are to 1) identify success factors and constraints to effective NGO capacity building in food security and agriculture through a review of the Best Practices and Innovations Initiative and consultations with key stakeholders; 2) strengthen capabilities of selected local civil society partners; and 3) expand InterActionÆs Food Security Aid Map with additional data and functionality based on consultations with food security experts and IFAD.
Advancing Lasting Global Development through Sustained and Coordinated Advocacy This investment provides general operating funds to support InterAction, as an alliance of over 180 humanitarian and development US based NGOs, in its mission to eliminate extreme poverty, uphold human rights, safeguard a sustainable planet, and ensure human dignity.
Review of NGO Risk Analysis and Mitigation (PRM) To improve NGO risk management so that operational NGOs have improved humanitarian access to affected populations in complex emergencies as a result of greater understanding and mitigation of risk factors.
Improving and Expanding Our Responses to a New Policy Landscape that Threatens to Undermine the Global Missions and Oper In the political environment that emerged after the 2016 Presidential election, civil society organizations (CSOs) report increasing concerns and alarming impacts relating to the dissemination of false information across media platforms. For some organizations, this creates a programming issue when previously accepted facts around climate change, vaccines or women’s health are discounted or dismissed as “fake news.”  For other organizations, existential issues arise when their reputation or security come under attack due to their areas of operation, their opposition to federal policy, or when their religious affiliation make them the target of negative media campaigns. These campaigns have resulted in death threats against U.S.-based NGOs, and verbal attacks on the work they do here in the United States and abroad. (Nearly one-third of InterAction member NGO programs focus on domestic issues.)

InterAction wishes to equip U.S.-based CSOs that do not know how to confront disinformation campaigns with a set of tools specifically calibrated to their use capacity.  InterAction is the oldest and largest association of internationally oriented American non-profits, with more than 220 member and partner organizations across a spectrum of sizes, locations and missions. We are ideally situated to identify the specific needs of this community, draw lessons from across our membership, and craft tools and tactics for use by these organizations. We know from our members and partners that this challenge crosses internationally focused secular and faith-based organizations with local offices or staff throughout the United States.  We also believe that the current administration’s isolationist and anti-terror policy positions will likely exacerbate the challenge over the coming years.

To address the challenge, InterAction proposes to research, design, produce, and disseminate a tool kit for internationally oriented CSOs to respond to disinformation and specialized media attacks. At the end of a six-month window, this tool kit would include:

•	Access via online and in print.
•	Lessons drawn from U.S. civil society organizations that have experience pushing back against disinformation. Among our membership this includes international civil rights and transparency groups and feminist organizations. Outside our membership, this includes U.S. civil liberties organizations.
•	Language tailored to organizations that are not familiar with confrontational media, and
•	Sample texts, plans, and other tactical resources.
Strengthening U.S. Leadership on Global Food and Nutrition Security U.S. leadership for global food and nutrition programming has increased in recent years as evidenced by the elevation of the Feed the Future program as one of the signature global development initiatives of President Obama.  Building on this momentum and emerging opportunities to further enhance global food and nutrition programming, InterAction seeks to broaden and strengthen key stakeholder awareness and engagement in agriculture-focused investment initiatives.  Through a comprehensive and integrated approach, the project will broaden and better align key stakeholders for greater impact.  This approach leverages the influence and collective engagement of a variety of multi-sector stakeholders to increase awareness, promote intelligent discussion, and increase public exposure to advance the global food and nutrition agenda.  This strategy includes the flexibility needed to effectively adapt to unexpected challenges and leverage opportunities with the greatest potential to increase U.S. leadership.
NGO Aid Map: Strengthening NGO Capacity for Data Sharing (2017) Goal: To improve the effectiveness of aid efforts by making comprehensive, high quality information on NGO aid activities public in a timely and accessible manner.

Objectives:
1.	Increase the quality and quantity of data on NGO Aid Map
2.	Evaluate product value and develop a revised business model and platform design based on consultations with key users (practitioners, funders, researchers, journalists)
Increasing Transparency and Aid Effectiveness Through NGO Aid Map The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness of aid efforts by making comprehensive, high quality information on NGO aid activities public in a timely and accessible manner. The project primarily focuses on the development and expansion of InterAction’s NGO Aid Map, an online, interactive tool that details the work of InterAction members through maps and data visualizations. In this phase, the objectives are to increase the number of organizations participating in NGO Aid Map, encourage other NGO platforms to replicate the site, improve the quality of the data, and make the data more accessible through new features. In addition, this grant will support an award to encourage NGOs to increase the quality and quantity of their publicly available data. The $10,000 award will recognize an organization committed to transparency and open data.
Advancing NGO Evaluation Practice and Strengthening Local M&E Capacity through Innovative Partnerships This project aims to advance evaluation practice and its prioritization among InterAction members; to support the development of local, in-country monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity; and to promote broader NGO contributions to the field of development evaluation, with a focus on bottom-up approaches. Activities undertaken under this project include a workshop for managers of impact evaluation; a workshop on evaluative thinking; a publication on evaluative thinking featuring four case studies; and the development of a briefing paper and how-to guidance on promoting local ownership in evaluation.
Influencing Global Level Protection Policy and Practice The humanitarian community has come under increased pressure to enhance the overall strategic character of protection in humanitarian response and to demonstrate measurable results for enhanced protection in terms of reduced risk of violence, coercion and deprivation experienced by conflict affected populations. This means a more robust evidence base and more clearly articulated strategy involving the roles of different actors to bring about protection outcomes. This action, implemented by International Rescue Committee (IRC) in partnership with InterAction (IA), proposes to address these issues through a comprehensive and collaborative systems-level strategy to establish a new standard of protection programming and policy. InterActionÆs programme entails elaborating the key elements of results-based protection in practice, building up a documented body of good practice, and promoting the adoption of key elements for a results-based approach by humanitarian actors. The programme will also examine the relationship of humanitarian actors with UN political and peacekeeping missions in order to generate policy options to support the realization of protection outcomes in practice. The programme will be implemented through NGO-initiated and led collaboration and coordination, including through a Results-Based Protection Learning and Steering Group, the Global Protection Cluster, and the  Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC).
Strengthening U.S. Leadership on Global Food and Nutrition Security (Phase II) U.S. leadership for global food and nutrition programming has increased in recent years as evidenced by the elevation of the Feed the Future program as one of the signature global development initiatives of President Obama. Building on this momentum and emerging opportunities to further enhance global food and nutrition programming, Interaction seeks to continue to broaden and strengthen key stakeholder awareness and engagement in agriculture-focused investment initiatives. Through a comprehensive and integrated approach, the project will broaden and better align key stakeholders for greater impact. This approach leverages the influence and collective engagement of a variety of multi-sector stakeholders to increase awareness, promote intelligent discussion, and increase public exposure to advance the global food and nutrition agenda. This strategy includes the flexibility needed to effectively adapt to unexpected challenges and leverage opportunities with the greatest potential to increase U.S. leadership.
Influencing policy and practice to enhance protection in armed conflict Work undertaken during this grant period will finalize the design of the Results-Based Protection Learning Network, and secure the commitments from participating organizations as well as donor contributions to fund the activities of the Learning Network. The Learning Network is expected to further catalyze implementation, documentation of case studies and learning gained through this process, and dissemination of results-based approaches, and ultimately increasing uptake of results-based protection across the humanitarian system. 

InterAction will seek to maintain the momentum to disseminate and promote policies which have been adopted by the humanitarian system to facilitate collective protection outcomes through ‘whole-of-system’ approaches to protection. As these new inter-agency and system-wide policies incorporate insight from InterAction’s work on results-based protection, InterAction is well-positioned to ensure that efforts to continually build the methods and approaches to achieve protection outcomes also support their more systematic use in practice.

In addition, InterAction seeks to ensure an informed U.S. policy discourse as a means to help minimize harm to civilians arising from U.S. military operations and policy. As the policies and practices of the new U.S. administration become apparent, InterAction will convene timely and relevant dialogue on critical issues, promote international humanitarian law, and promulgate practical measures to ensure that civilians are spared from the worst effects of armed conflict.
Engaging lawmakers on civilian protection Desired outcome: Lawmakers gain a broader understanding of measures that can be taken to mitigate civilian harm in the context of U.S. military operations and U.S. security cooperation through U.S. policy and practice and this understanding is reflected in legislation and subsequent U.S. policy and practice.
An Independent Assessment of USAID's Partner Vetting System Pilot On July 27th 2015 USAID released the final rule for the pilot Partner Vetting System program in five pilot countries. The rule requires U.S. NGOs receiving funding from USAID to collect personal information from key employees in their own organization as well as partners who are sub-recipients, sub-sub-recipients of USAID grants and in some cases even beneficiaries. This information is then compared to information found in the U.S. government's classified national intelligence databases. Any positive match requires the intelligence databases to be updated with this information. 

At its core, PVS is meant to ensure that U.S. government funds are not diverted to organizations or individuals deemed to be a threat to U.S. national security. InterAction members agree with this sentiment and also strongly believe that funds (government and private alike) should be effectively delivered to people in need and not diverted to terrorists or other bad actors. In fact, InterAction members practice due diligence to ensure the appropriate use of funds and maintain our reputation as legitimate actors in many dangerous parts of the world. However, the major concern of U.S. NGOs is how PVS is formulated and implemented. 

After one year of the pilot PVS program, on August 2016, InterAction will deliver an independent assessment of how PVS affects NGO operations in the pilot countries in relation to the security of NGO staff, local partners, and vendors; the ability of NGOs to build and maintain trust and positive relationships among partners; and the ability for NGOs to efficiently and effectively deliver assistance. The report will use qualitative and quantitative data to display that PVS is harmful and unnecessary with the ultimate goal of preventing PVS from being implemented globally outside of the pilot countries. If USAID does implement PVS globally, NGOs aim to ensure that their major concerns are adequately addressed.
