Checklist for the scoping and dialogue process - ELRHA

Checklist for the scoping and dialogue process - ELRHA

Organisation: ELRHA 

ELRHA (2012: 37) lists key questions to develop ideas for collaboration:

  • Description of the collaboration?
  • What is the context – consider security issues here?
  • What is the rational?
  • What are the expected results?
  • What is the organizational background of both partners?
  • What is the estimated budget?

ELRHA (2012: 37) has developed a checklist with key questions to be discussed with a potential partner:

  • What are the aims of collaboration?
  • What are the motivations on each side?
  • What are the partnership principles and values that inform the approach?
  • What does success look like?
  • What does each side bring to the collaboration?
  • Does it need to be formatted
  • What will be the outputs?
  • What are the costs and funding implications?

In addition, the ELRHA toolkit (2012: 22) lists points to be considered so that the scoping process is successful:

  • Invest time and resources for scoping
  • Get the right people around the table
  • Understand the partnership skills needed
  • Use the dialogue process to build trust and relationships,
  • Map things out together
  • Consider security issues
  • Discuss ethical codes
  • Discuss costs and budgets
  • Negotiate outputs and ownership
  • Discuss how success looks like and what is non-negotiable.
