This session followed the one in Dakar in February 2002 during which ERNWACA national coordinators as well as development partners identified research priorities for 2002 – 2010. The objectives of the 2004 strategy session in Ségou were to: Discuss strategies to improve the quality and number of publications within ERNWACA and to facilitate its evolution into an appropriate structure to carry ERNWACA to 2010 and beyond ; Develop an action plan for the coming 2 years for each of the 13 national coordination offices. Work began with a review of activities since the 2002 Dakar strategy session. Among the eight priority themes concerning the quality of teaching and learning, three have already been the subject of trans-national research and regional workshops. They are: The impact of HIV/AIDS on education systems ; The role of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa ; The quality of teaching and management of teaching staff. Results of work on these themes are available on the ERNWACA website: www.ERNWACA.org and have also been publicized through the ERNWACA electronic newsletter, « ERNWACA News ». The presentation concerning the initiatives of the ERNWACA regional Coordination office enabled participants to follow the various research activities in certain ERNWACA member countries, to produce a directory of the Network’s researcher members, to give a comparative oversight of implemented and projected budgets for the regional Coordination Office from 2002 to 2010 and to address the question of ERNWACA’s future. The account of management of a national Coordination Office was mainly concerned with administrative and financial management, the management of research programmes, visibility and communications. The assembly agreed that these elements are important for reinforcement of the national Coordination Offices which are the heart of the network. Planning strategies for resource mobilisation, the key theme of the meeting, attracted the attention of all participants. The method and the significance of strategic planning for resource mobilisation were clearly defined. The participants then took part in a practical exercise: “the money game” which enabled them to understand the various elements at stake in a funding request. Group work focused on the meeting’s objectives led to the following recommendations: improve the quality of work at the level of the regional Coordination Office and at national Coordination Offices to produce excellent publications – published by classic and by electronic means; continue to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit at national and regional levels, the exchange of experiences and decentralised communications ; consolidate the 15 years of lessons learned about network administration and facilitate the progress of research projects with a procedures document; publish a directory of researchers/members having paid their dues in 2004 ; set up a Task Force for resource mobilisation to diversify and solidify ERNWACA’s institutional support. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 4 The last activity of the meeting was a visit to the ERNWACA Internet site from a Segou Cybercafé. In addition to indoor activities, the participants went on a visit to Sékoro, a village situated 10 km away from Ségou. ERNWACA wishes to thank Swiss Development (DDC) for funding this important meeting, and IDRC for its unfailing support.

Objectives and participants The 2004 ERNWACA strategy session was held at the Hôtel Indépendance in Ségou on September 16 and 17, 2004. Following the first strategy session held in Dakar in Feburary 2002, this meeting was part of the framework of exchanges and discussions between the regional co-ordination and the national co-ordinations of the thirteen ERNWACA member countries, as well as planning and monitoring activities. The meeting was driven by the following objectives: To agree on indications to increase quality and publications within ERNWACA and discuss the strategy to develop an appropriate structure for ERNWACA’s direction up to 2010 and beyond ; To develop an action plan for the following 2 years for each of the13 national co-ordinations The opening, presided by Mr. Joshua BAKU, general secretary of ERNWACA-Ghana, was marked by the presence of the national coordinators of 12 ERNWACA member countries – Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo – as well as representatives of some partners and resource persons. They were: Swiss Development Assistance (DDC) ; International Development Research Centre (IDRC) ; NORRAG Network; PLAN Sierra Leone ; The University of Okanagan, Canada. A minute’s silence was observed in memory of the first Togo national co-ordinator, Professeur Kodjo, who died recently. Following presentation of the meeting’s objectives by Mr Baku confirmation of the meeting’s secretaries, four papers headed the start of the sessions: Review of the 2002 strategy session, by Ousmane GUEYE, ERNWACA Senegal Regional ERNWACA initiatives, by Kathryn TOURE, Regional ERNWACA Management of a national co-ordination, by François Joseph AZOH, ERNWACA Côte d’Ivoire Strategic Planning and resource mobilisation, by Kafui DANSOU, IDRC, Dakar - Senegal Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 10 2. Presentations concerning ERNWACA 2.1 Regional ERNWACA M. GUEYE recalled the 2002 Dakar strategy session. The meeting of national ERNWACA co-ordinators had been called to develop strategies for the years 2002 to 2005. As a result of the meeting, the participants reached a consensus concerning priority research themes for ERNWACA (see the list in Annexe C to the programme). In reflecting on the past, present and future of the network, M. GUEYE argued that the current period of growth must be well managed by the coordinators to benefit African research and education. Mme TOURE presented the network’s record through an oral account and through forms that were distributed on the various research projects. She first recalled the mission and objectives of ERNWACA expressed at its launch in Freetown in 1989. Mission To promote African expertise and a research culture to exert a positive influence on educational policies and practices in ERNWACA member countries; ERNWACA’s objectives To build national and regional capacity concerning research and policy assessment ; To increase the quality and relevance of research for practitioners and decision makers; To communicate research results in order to stimulate public dialogue. With regard to news on ERNWACA, she presented the most quoted ERNWACA publication: Neglected and Undervalued. This is a synthesis of analyses of education research in West and Central Africa which discovered 1,056 studies carried out in seven ERNWACA member countries from Independence until early 1991. Principal trans-national (9 countries) research of the 1990s, funded by IRDC and SARA/AED/USAID, concentrated on community participation in the field of education. Mme TOURE gave examples of the impact of ERNWACA research at national level: measures favouring access of girls to school in Côte d’Ivoire, increased practical work in the teacher training programme in Cameroon, tools for the funding campaign for basic education and for the Ghana Ministry of Education documentation, curriculum reform for vocational education in Benin, an architecture diploma which is being set up in the Gambia, based on knowledge of current studies and skills of contractors in rural and industrial building. Also in the Gambia, curriculum design for pre-school educators, participation in design for the10-year education planning programme in Mali (PRODEC, 1998 - 2008) and increasing dialogue between government and NGOs. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 11 To communicate research findings, the national co-ordinations organised workshops to spread their results, meetings with journalists, and « ERNWACA Cafés » which are a forum for information and exchange on research by ERNWACA and its partners. The regional co-ordination is in charge of putting research projects on line on Internet, and sharing information on the network and its research through the electronic, bilingual «ERNWACA News. » No.7, on Nigeria, will be published in November 2004 to 1,500 members and partners in the sub-region and elsewhere. With regard to 2002-2004 trans-national research, this has mobilised about 180 researchers, including 28% women, in 12 countries (all member countries except Sierra Leone). On the eight priority themes, three have already been the subject of trans-national research and of regional workshops and support of new partners, particularly research on HIV/AIDS, on the role of new technologies in education, and lastly the quality of teaching and the management of teaching personnel. 2.1.1 Research on the impact of HIV/AIDS on education systems. Objectives : On this theme, ERNWACA aims to sensitise member countries to the urgency of taking HIV/AIDS issues into account within education systems, to reinforce the pool of competent researchers capable of conducting research on this issue, to provide relevant tools and data to decision takers and planners in order to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on the quality of education. Results : Setting up six national teams (BF, CM, CI, GH, Nigeria, SN). Identification of 75 national policy documents and research reports, made available in a database on Internet at http://hivaidsclearinghouse.unesco.org. Using the « Clearinghouse » to conduct literature reviews and share results through publication of 10 papers on the Clearinghouse. A workshop held in Bamako in June 2004, drawing up a regional research agenda (see report on www.ERNWACA.og). Positioning ERNWACA in 6 member countries as a source of information and expertise on HIV/AIDS within the education systems and pursuing other activities on national level with partners such as Ministries of Education, the World Bank, ISSBD, WFP, Population Media Council (PMC), UNESCO, and USAID. Means: 18 month partnership with the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIPE/UNESCO, Paris) and a budget of $94,500. Lessons learned: Interest surrounding HIV/AIDS issues must be galvanised to produce effective responses within education systems in order to avoid the crises already experienced in other regions of Africa. Capacity building is a process calling for involvement of recognised researchers in the field, and training in methodology, as well as in writing. Participating national co-ordinations should demonstrate capacity to reinvest the acquired experience. ERNWACA’s participative approach which confronts research data and experiences of decision-makers and practitioners, contributes to the relevance of research and Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 12 facilitates serious consideration of results. HIV/AIDS control calls for strategic partnerships, development of a shared vision and a long-term strategy. ERNWACA must build these negotiating capacities in order to attract the resources needed for efficient implementation of its policy. Use of Internet facilitates trans-national research and sharing of results, but budgets for communications, publication and scientific support must also be revised and increased. Perspectives : Promotion of the research agenda and its appropriation by the countries and institutions. Publication of an advocacy document based on results of 10 papers and the regional workshop, in order to facilitate sensitisation and dialogue between researchers and the Ministries of Education. Training programmes for researchers in research methodology. Transnational studies on the impact of HIV/AIDS on teachers, in collaboration with teachers’ Unions. Negotiations are under way with the ADB. 2.1.2 Research on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in Education in Africa. Objectives : ERNWACA has deliberately positioned itself as an expert in research on use of ICT in education, in developing a pool of specialised researchers promoting the use of ICT to improve the quality of teaching, and producing publications that are scientifically validated by peers, and applied to decision taking. Results: 2003-2005 trans-national study is under way, to understand the role of computers and Internet in teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools. Creation of 5 national teams – BN, CM, CI, GH, ML, SN –. Selection of 40 pioneer schools. Qualitative data collection in 4 countries. Overall profile of the schools shows 51,000 pupils and 2,500 teachers. Some twenty researchers master the use of ICT (video camera, Internet, etc.) to study the network of skills development in treatment and reading of images. In October 2004, the data analysis workshop will take place in Cotonou, followed by qualitative data collection. ERNWACA has also finalised a study for SchoolNet (South Africa) on French language online courses for teachers in Africa to learn about ICT. The results were presented to an ADEA regional workshop in Abuja (Nigeria) in July 2004. Means: Focal points in the Ministries of National Education to facilitate access to information and to schools, and in certain countries access to means of transport. Partnership with University of Montreal Faculty of Education, IDRC technical and financial support, and a total budget of US$ 272,000 (from IDRC and SchoolNet). Lessons learned: University personnel seem to be more available to conduct research successfully than persons working in projects. A phased approach is desirable with production of a report or other product summarising results at regular intervals. The contribution of national scientific committees should be explicit to improve production. Internet facilitates exchanges Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 13 between countries in the research process, as well as visits by national researchers to other countries. ERNWACA should reinforce skills in managing Websites and electronic distribution lists, and in managing images. Perspectives : Presentation of results of this Phase I to the World Communications Summit in Tunis in 2005. Production of an interactive CD-ROM with photos and videos, to distribute the results (schools, teacher training institutes). Interactive workshops with national members of parliament. Publication of articles in professional publications. Presentation of results to regional and international conferences. Phase II: research-action on ICT training for teachers (negotiate with IDRC and other partners). 2.1.3 Research on quality of teaching and management of teaching staff. Objectives : Provide young researchers with field experience and support of confirmed researchers. Conduct research which will inform discussions on the quality of teaching and learning in ERNWACA member countries. Results : Mobilise 125 researchers (30% women) in 12 member countries. Literature review of quality of education, 19922002, carried out in 11 member countries; regional synthesis written by Pai Obanya and Kathryn Touré. Nine research reports (on science teaching, education of girls, ICT and HIV) finalised in 2003 through the 1st edition of the ERNWACA Small Grants Programme for Research on Education.. Draft of a manual on research-action written after two regional meetings and a visit to Canada; should be shared by e-mail with national co-ordinations for their comments. NB : ERNWACA researchers Ernest Ilboudo of BF and Cheick Oumar Fomba of ML participated in the World Bank study on training and management of primary sector teachers in West Africa, directed by Martial Dembelé of the University of Québec in Montreal (UQAM). Means: Collaboration with national institutions and consumers of research results in 9 member countries. Partnership with the University of Quebec in Montréal. Contracts with ADEA and IDRC for US $ 127,000. Lessons learned: National level interdisciplinary research is enriching for researchers and enhances quality of work. Quality of work should be given greater depth through regional meetings to encourage peer review. ERNWACA is an institution which encourages capacity building, particularly through monitoring. Perspectives: Exploit the 11 bibliographies with commentaries to produce a 2nd volume of Neglected and Undervalued. Secure funding for later editions of the Small Grants Programme. Study the way of publishing the manual on research-action. In view of the key role of teachers in changes, integrate issues relating to teaching staff in a transversal manner in other research themes. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 14 2.1.4 Other research themes Education in times of crisis/conflict or education for peace: partnership with the international network for Family Research and Schooling in Africa (FASAF). Research under way for a trans-national study of the Ivorian crisis (BF, CI, GH, ML) and an international colloquium on « Education, Violence and Conflict in Africa » programmed in Kinshasa in 2005 or 2006. Use of national languages in education: No trans-national activity. Reform process decentralisation: Proposed proto-project for research on « Decentralisation : inter-sector lessons », being considered by IDRC. Through the ADEA Working Group on Education Sector Analysis (WGESA), ERNWACA participates in promotion of «research training » in Africa in order to place research at the service of implementation of educational policies and programmes (workshop programmed for April 2005). Beyond basic education: Participation in launch of the UEMOA study (ADB funding) on higher education in Ouagadougou in February 2003. In Bamako with NORRAG, in September 2004, held Critical Perspectives seminar on Education: schooling, gender and skills development. 2.1.5 Finance Mme TOURE concluded her contribution with an overview of ERNWACA’s budgetary situation. In 2002, the ERNWACA budget was US $ 230,000 including in-kind support, with an annual increase of 30% in 2003 and in 2004. A total of US $ 550,000 will be needed to implement the 2005 action plan, of which 13% has been secured (from IDRC). In 2010, she estimated that ERNWACA will need US $ 1,000,000 to carry out its work properly. She hoped that from 2010, ERNWACA will generate between 20% and 30% of its annual budget from endowments, which will reinforce the Network’s financial independence. 2.2 Management of a national co-ordination Mr. AZOH’s presentation highlighted proposals for management of a national coordination. 2.2.1 Administrative and financial management Ensure ERNWACA’s administrative recognition; Organise correspondence and archives ; Set up membership documentation (membership form, cards, etc.); Draw up contracts for researchers, interviewers, etc.; Set up financial management procedures, property management; Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 15 Set up a system to collect membership dues; Seek local institutional and financial support (equipment, financial resources, etc) ; Equip the office with material and office furniture and documents (gifts and purchases) Organise contacts (visits) with all local structures connected to education. 2.2.2 Management of reseach programmes Identify research agendas of government (Ministries and local authorities) and international structures (bilateral aid agencies and development partners); Have ready a template for written submission of research projects: technical and financial proposals; Have the Scientific Committee contribute to drawing up research programmes; Ensure monitoring of the research by a designated Scientific Committee. 2.2.3 Communication and visibility Ensure publication; Organise meetings to present the results and hold (press, researchers, decision makers, Café ERNWACA): 1 every 2 months ; Have available ERNWACA CN et CR presentation documentation; Participate in national activities relating to education; Become a Member of Education Sector groups(UNICEF, etc.) or groups on Gender (MEN) ; Collaborate with the national UNESCO structure; Initiate new ideas such as the Education Observatory; Recruit young researchers (men and women), Develop partnerships with local NGOs. 3. Strategic planning and resource mobilisation It will be remembered from Mme DANSOU’s unusual and instructive presentation that one must be clear, convincing and legitimate for strategic planning and resource mobilisation. To mobilise resources and access to resources, it is important to know what skills are Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 16 available, the market and its potential limitations, the weak points and the capacity to deliver research according to the terms of reference. Resource mobilisation must: correspond to ambitions and strategic objectives; be a team effort with well-defined roles and responsibilities; be clearly articulated; include a strategy for sustainability; be within time limits so that funding agencies will be informed of the period of need for support. Afterwards the « money game », directed by Mme DANSOU demonstrated the various elements to introduce in the technique for designing a funding proposal. Resource mobilisation was illustrated by collection of bank notes from volunteer participants. Three working groups then worked for 25 minutes to design a project to be submitted to funding agencies. A plenary session saw presentation of three projects: A methodology workshop leading to research proposals in the EFA area, for 20 researchers at Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina; Self-sufficiency for young unmarried mothers in the Commune of Segou who had left school early; Development of ERNWACA research capacities. Result : Group 3 won because the request is in the institution’s mandate, the presenter was convincing, and the objectives and costs were clearly identified. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 17 4. Plenary Session Discussions The discussion session was marked by contributions from the coordinators. One after another, M. LAOUALI from Niger and Mme BUSARI of Nigeria insisted that the principle of treatment of the quality of writing and publication. Mme BUSARI also spoke of the importance of institutional members who with their contributions can also help the coordination to cover running costs. M. LAOUALI supported this point and noted that current ERNWACA statutes already provide for this type of membership of the Network. M. AMEVIGBE of Togo and M. NJIE of the Gambia brought up their concern for recognition by the Government and the MEN in their respective countries and by CEDEAO at regional level. M. NJIE encouraged national co-ordinations to request government grants and suggested the regional co-ordination should ask for them from regional bodies. Some participants encouraged ht e regional coordination to « distribute » projects. M. AMEVIGBE argued for an entrepreneurial approach at national level, but nobody endorsed the idea that national co-ordinations pay fees for running costs of the regional coordination. Nonetheless, several speakers insisted on closer contacts between partners at national level. M. AZOH of Côte d’Ivoire recalled to his colleagues the interest in encouraging partner loyalty by thanking them. Others spoke of the need to mobilise other members of the national steering committee and to call meetings of the Scientific Committee to validate work done. Some expressed regret at the modest level of remuneration for research on HIV. M. BAKU of Ghana insisted on the fact that national co-ordinations which do not yet have a secretary should try to recruit one in order to function better. M. DIALLO, the new coordinator in Guinea, expressed interest in the availability of national co-ordinators with regard to the extent of their presence at the ERNWACA offices in the 13 member countries (see the table on «Situation of National Co-ordinations» in Annexe A for the comparison). M. ILBOUDO of Burkina Faso also raised the issue of remuneration of national coordinators and the high cost of communications. M. LAOUALI of Niger and M. DEMBELE of Mali recalled that the work of the coordinator is a representational function, and although there are compensations, there is no fixed remuneration. Mme TOURE of Regional ERNWACA suggested that in some cases the FAWE model might be the most appropriate – a staff member hired full-time to handle day-to-day affairs, manage research projects and take part in certain strategic meetings, and thus free the co-ordinator to develop strategies and partnerships. Some participants feared that this model might turn the network into a bureaucracy. Mme TOURE invited coordinators to propose the names of persons well-placed to take the chair of the regional steering committee and bring political and decisive weight to validation of strategies and resource mobilisation. 5. Group work Continuation of work in the afternoon, chaired by M. Pierre FONKOUA of ERNWACA Cameroon, was marked by setting up four working groups to reflect on the priority themes of meeting: quality, publication, structure, and resource mobilisation. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 18 5.1 Groupe 1 : How to enhance Quality ? Members : Maikareh Njie Laouali Malam Moussa Mohamed Lamin Germaine Ouedraogo Amadou Tidjane Diallo The Group first identified a challenge: How to attract the best researchers, motivate and manage them, given limited availability of funds ? And one conclusion: In the end, quality sells itself. It then suggested the following actions: Preparation and negotiation Assess partners’ needs for research in a participatory manner; Determine and share the criteria for assessment of quality ; Look for the skills needed and the means to engage them, inside and outside the network; Insist on decent remuneration and a reasonable; If necessary, negotiate a budget revision in order to include the best researchers; Involve ERNWACA skills in the negotiations. Training Pre-research training ; Build capacities for qualitative research – long-term and continuously – by semester and by year.. Monitoring the research process Continue and strengthen the « mentorship » approach; As a measure of co-responsibility, experienced researchers will sign to attest to the quality of research. Taking gender into account Integrate gender analysis; Broad dissemination of information and a proactive approach to attract women who are high quality researchers. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 19 Participatory and transnational approach Encourage trans-national collaboration between researchers and between researchers and decision-makers; Organise workshops to announce and validate research results. Recognition Recognise the researchers who carry out high quality research! How to operationalise the strategies? The regional co-ordination and the national co-ordinations will be charged with capacity building; The national network will express needs to build capacities; Intensified resource mobilisation will use a number of methods ; The national coordination will examine the country’s needs in order to develop and define strategy plans which are sufficiently flexible; The regional co-ordination will work together with the established national structure to ensure its cohesion and effectiveness; The regional co-ordination will provide rapid reactions to proposals, research reports, and other communications from the national coo-ordination ; Refer research work to other sources with the capacity to review it and provide feedback ; Concerning trans-national projects, call on regional references for evaluation of the project. 5.2 Group 2 : How to promote Publication ? Members : Pierre Fonkoua Joshua Baku Olanitemi Olasunmade Busari Frédérique Weyer Naim Deen Salami Group 2 suggested four lines of reflection to follow before promoting ERNWACA publications. Importance of publication Confirms ERNWACA credibility; Increases ERNWACA visibility and ensures its influence; Facilitates diffusion of research results; Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 20 Promotes careers of member researchers; Stimulates reactions and inter-reactions towards the aim of development. Publication’s points of concentration Centred on scientific form and political commitment ; Validated by a committee of readers; Develops research standards; Develop an operations manuel on definitions and expected activities ; Indicate necessary ways and means ; Strengthen capacity to write reports. Analyse 5 aspects of publications Quality of work ; acceptability at local/national/regional level; Quality of support by the partner for the publication ; Resources: human and technical (including funding) ; Accessibility: language, appropriate form and quality of support; messages adapted to various targets; Diffusion : impact on the public. Diffusion The publication may be by classic printing or by electronic and audiovisual means ; The media may support (press, radio, TV) ; Publications can be indexed in a database on the ERNWACA Website (NORRAG gave the example of REDUC) and also published by CD-ROM ; Expertise of a communicator and IT specialists will be needed; Network publications will be addressed to civil society organisations, Ministries, national Libraries, institutions, students, NGOs; the media, etc. 5.3 Group 3 : How to strengthen ERNWACA’s Structure? Members : Ernest Ilboudo Ousmane Gueye François-Joseph Azoh Violet Diallo Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 21 Four themes were selected to propose improvements related to structure – these suggestions also aimed at strengthening institutional capacity. Legal framework : procedures Draw up or update statutes and by-laws (indicating the mode of operations, taking out membership, dues, etc.); Obtain official recognition for the network; Obtain headed notepaper, a rubber stamp, etc. ; Collect membership dues every year; Set up administrative and financial manuals (model contracts, per diem policy, etc.) ; Set up research manuals (quality standards, conducting activities, expectations regarding publication, etc.). Communications Internet subscription using the available server which is the most reasonable ; Communicate with the ERNWACA site ; Identify useful sites (ERNWACA Regional)for national co-ordinations; Initiate activity reports: a six-monthly report to the regional co-ordination and other networks. (This will also apply to the Regional Coordination.) Equipment / logistics Provide the network with a telephone line (landline or mobile) ; Sign an agreement between ERNWACA and the local partner; Recruit an assistant or a secretary, either part-time or full-time ; Estimate the co-ordinator’s consultation hours and the effective rate of compensation through the various projects and contracts (as for the members of the scientific committees). Funding Examine the principle of remuneration/compensation for the national co-ordinator; Adopt the principle of remunerating the assistant (secretary or officer); Retain 15% of he total amount of every contract for running costs; Draw up an annual operating budget. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 22 5.4 Group 4 : How to mobilise Resources ? Members : Kafui Dansou Emile Bih Urbain Dembelé Kathryn Touré Philippe Amevigbé Jennifer Tucker After brainstorming to list the various possible actions, the group identified three priorities for ERNWACA in terms of strategic resource mobilisation. Policy for networking and partnerships Establish a list of present and potential partners; Analyse the comparative value of each partner and potential; Prioritise the steps to be taken; Maintain active relations with Government and the Ministries ; Establish relations with universities and research centres and institutes, and explore anchor points ; Visit development partners and NGOs and look for points of synergy; Improve ERNWACA visibility; Re-prioritise the steps to be taken; Participate in calls for tender from « like-minded » structures; Submit project proposals and requests for institutional support ; Follow regional office agreements and conventions; Participate in seminars, meetings of these institutions and invite them to take part in Cafés and other ERNWACA events; Evaluate the results; Evaluate the quality of partnerships. NB : These activities have to be conducted continuously by national and regional co-ordinations. Membership fees and dues (individual and institutional members) Identify and register members; Organise collection of inscription fees and annual dues; Publish the membership list; The CN and the CR should use these funds and the list as a lever to generate more funding from partners; Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 23 Pilot recruitment of institutional members in two countries and accept their contributions (from June 2005). NB: The co-ordinations should provide the list of members having paid their 2004 contributions to the regional co-ordination by November 2004; the regional c-oordination will publish and diffuse the entire directory of its membership as of the beginning of 2005. Resource mobilisation teams Nominate members of the team at national and regional levels ; Organise a CN officers’ meeting to define the TDR and business plan; Send a report to the CR and ask for advice/support if needed ; As far as possible, the CR should be accompanied to national, regional and international meetings by CN members and share not only responsibility for the work of the network and resource mobilisation, but also the results in terms of apprenticeship and Network support ; Effective operationalisation (through a physical meeting at least every 2 years) the regional bodies (steering committee, scientific committee) could contribute positively to the resource mobilisation process. NB : The regional committee for development of strategic partnerships and resource mobilisation should meet in Dakar on 14 and 15 February 2005 and will invite the Honourable Minister of National Education of the Republic of Senegal, Monsieur Sourang, who is also a member of the regional ERNWACA steering committee. The ERNACA regional activity plan and the 2003 – 2010 action plan will also be presented to the funders in April 2005. 6. Situation of the national co-ordinations François-Joseph AZOH, co-ordinator of ERNWACA-Côte d’Ivoire, chaired the meetings of Friday, 17 September 2004. Two points were on the agenda, namely: Synthesis of the national co-ordinations; Development of action plans. Synthesis of the situation of the national co-ordinations, presented by M. AZOH, after management and analysis of a questionnaire addressed to the national co-ordinations, showed that in general they have weak administrative and operational implantation. Operations depend to a large part on the self-sacrifice of the coordinators who are not adequately assisted by the other officials Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 24 Seven co-ordinations have a physical office and six have equipment. Only Nigeria, Guinea and Sierra Leone do not yet have a bank account. Few co-ordinators have an administrative assistant. At an operational level, publication is inadequate and resource mobilisation is limited which leads to an embarrassing dependency. During the following discussions, three clear ideas were expressed : Take care that the national antennae work as a team. This would relieve the co-ordinators and enable them to be more involved in intellectual work; Look for institutional development while taking care to contain the financial implications within realistic and reasonable bounds. The regional co-ordination is encouraged to give greater support to the efforts of national co-ordinations by involving them as much as possible in trans-national activities ; Develop resource mobilisation activities by including a chapter on institutional support among national co-ordination activities. 7. Development of national action plans Development of national action plans was carried out in two parts. In the first place, the participants worked in five groups to draw up plans based on a form prepared as part of the organisation of the meeting. After this working session, six countries (Guinea, Gambia, Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone) presented the results of their exercise in plenary session. The plans which were developed are in Annexe B. Certain points recurred in the action plans: Recruit an assistant (permanent) ; Organise the national co-ordinations to be more attractive to good researchers.; Improve communications sent out to CN members; Encourage institutional members; Develop the network’s visibility at national and regional levels; Strengthen relations with State institutions, NGOs, regional and international institutions and journalists ; Organise workshops on methodology of research in education ; Mae efforts to become financially independent. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Annexes / Page 25 8. Conclusions and recommendations The last activity of the strategy session was to visit the ERNWACA Internet site at a cyber café. On this occasion, the participants presented 30 000 F CFA (thirty thousand francs) to an association of persons living with HIV/AIDS. After two days of presentations, exchanges, and group work, the following conclusions were reached : The research themes identified in 2002 are relevant and deserve in-depth work until 2010 to produce effects ; Capacity building is a process requiring constant monitoring from national and regional levels; The regional co-ordination and national co-ordinations should seek the collaboration of the best researchers and ensure their availability; The work of the scientific committees should be made more forma land should be remunerated ; Establishment and communication of standards of quality and of operations within the network could contribute to improving the quality of work ; Integration of a publication strategy in each activity could enhance ERNWACA’s image ; To strengthen a network, national co-ordinations need strengthening ; The policy of payment by members of inscription fees and annual dues should be applied; Recruitment of institutional members could be piloted in two countries (i.e. Nigeria…); Implementation of policies calls for adequate means ; Responsibility for resource mobilisation is shared between the regional co-ordination and national co-ordinations ; ERNWACA should strengthen its negotiation capacities; The present 12 national co-ordinators devote an average of 4 to 12 hours a week to ERNWACA on a voluntary basis to promote African expertise and a culture of research and to keep the Network alive; this represents a total of more than 4 000 hours/person per year; ERNWACA should become more professional without loosing its soul: The national co-ordinations wish to receive communications support (folders, brochures, posters, etc) ; Horizontal communication between the various co-ordinations is called for. Four main concrete recommendations emerge from this meeting : Improve the quality of work at the level of the regional and national co-ordinations to produce excellent distributed by classic and electronic routes; Rapport session de stratégie 2004 publications – Annexes / Page 26 Continue to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit at national and regional levels, exchange of experiences, and decentralised communications; Consolidate the15 years of lessons learned in managing the network and facilitating operation of research projects with a procedures document; Publish a directory of the researchers/members who paid their dues in 2004 ; Set up a Task Force for resource mobilisation to diversify and solidify institutional support for ERNWACA. ERNWACA is grateful to Swiss Development Aid (DDC) for its financial support to the organisation of this strategy session which will guide the regional co-ordination and the national co-ordinations for the coming two years. This meeting has given new propulsion to the Network. ERNWACA also recognises the institutional support of the Centre for International Development research (IDRC) for its constant support to the Network.

ROCARE must aspire to have recognition as Ecowas organisation and support. Rapport session de stratégie 2004 Page 52 Le ROCARE doit demeurer ouvert et l’information doit porter sur tous les aspects. Quel est le plan de développement du ROCARE, par la coordinatrice régionale ? à rendre disponible dans les meilleurs délais. Il faut démocratiser le ROCARE, donner la parole aux chercheurs et ne pas les assujettir à la coordination nationale pour la moindre action. I appreciate all your support. Grand merci à toute l’équipe pour l’accueil chaleureux qui m’a été réservé. Je souhaite que le problème de rémunération des coordonnateurs soit traité cas par cas par la coordination régionale et les coordinations nationales de façon individuelle pour éviter de créer de l’injustice et de la frustration. There should be a closed business session for only the ERNWACA coordinators and not all participants.
