2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Consultation frameworks aim to facilitate dialogue between commune representatives and sector players in order to direct investments and commune services towards the real needs of professionals in the sectors in question.
The approach involves instituting a consultation framework for local authority actors and professionals from economic sectors in order to identify these economic actors’ needs vis-à-vis community investments, to factor these needs into local and regional authority planning, and to promote trust and collaboration between actors.
The commune identifies two or three high-growth sectors that are a priority for the commune and also identifies the actors (groups, cooperatives, associations) operating in these sectors. It then puts a consultation framework in place that brings together the municipality, sector actors, local technical services, representatives from technical and funding partners, and NGOs appropriate to or operating in the sectors in question. The decision to establish a framework is made on the back of commune council deliberations. Prior to the first consultation framework meeting, sector professionals identify their needs in terms of investments and measures to improve the business environment. During these periodic meetings, attendees negotiate and agree on priority actions and write these up in a very short-term (three-month) action plan. The consultation framework group then moves to install an inclusive monitoring committee to oversee the implementation of the action plan. The committee’s mandate is defined and evolves in accordance with the results that are achieved over time and with new needs arising. The successive nature of the consultation framework meetings means that progress can be measured, required adjustments made and new activities programmed to move the sectors forward.
PACT provides technical support (methods and tools for work, moderation and training) and contributes financially to consultation workshops. The commune formalises the framework, organises the logistics of meetings (invites, meeting rooms, chair hire, accommodation), contributes to implementing the action plan (registering its designated actions with PDESC, financing), provides incentives (supporting the training of cooperatives; land access; linking up actors; acting as intermediary in negotiations among cooperatives, technical and financial partners and NGOs). Professional organisations mobilise and train their members, cover the costs of their designated activities (radio reports, member travel arrangements, opening accounts, etc.), identify and negotiate within each individual profession the required actions for inclusion in the action plan, and contribute to the cost of building infrastructure. Technical services provide technical support to the two main parties (municipality and professional organisations). The monitoring committee helps ensure the action plan is implemented on schedule, identifies obstacles to implementation and communicates these to consultation framework actors so they can find solutions and move forward with a new action plan.

5.2 Apoyo financiero/material proporcionado a los usuarios de tierras

¿Los usuarios de tierras recibieron financiamiento/ apoyo material para implementar la Tecnología/ Tecnologías? :

Sí

Si respondió sí, especifique el tipo o los tipos de apoyo, condiciones y proveedor(es) :

The beneficiaries (municipality and professional organisations) contribute to covering the costs involved. It is a win-win process for the municipality and professional organisations and the costs involved are low. Progress can potentially be restricted by the low-levels of resources that both the territorial communities (rural communes) and local economic actors can invest in infrastructure and the fact that PACT cannot make capital investments. This lack of investment can sap the desire of actors to continue with the consultation process.

6.3 Sostenibilidad de las actividades del Enfoque

¿Pueden los usuarios de tierras sostener lo que se implementó mediante el Enfoque (sin apoyo externo)?

• incierto

Si respondió no o incierto, especifique y comente:

The most important factor in ensuring success is a willingness to collaborate on the part of the municipality (whose revenue is based on taxes paid by economic actors) and economic actors who have expectations with regard to the installation of infrastructure/community facilities for trade and to business opportunities that the municipality can facilitate. Levels of success are strongly linked to the support provided to the two main actors, namely:
1) training and support for the municipality in managing the local development, mobilising resources, and negotiating and developing partnerships;
2) training and support for economic actors in formalising the cooperative or company, mobilising and securing financial resources, setting up and managing projects, and negotiating and implementing partnerships.

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
Progress can potentially be restricted by the low-levels of resources that both the territorial communities (rural communes) and local economic actors can invest in infrastructure and the fact that PACT cannot make capital investments. This lack of investment can sap the desire of actors to continue with the consultation process.
