Forum Program July 6-9, 2009 Crystal Gateway Marriott Arlington, VA

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

W

elcome to the InterAction Forum 2009, celebrating our 25th Anniversary. For a quarter of a century, InterAction has been the voice of the U.S. international nonprofit community focused on making positive, sustainable changes in the lives of the world’s poor. We have harnessed the collective strength of our member organizations and translated their expertise into action and results.

Our history has been fraught with many challenges and our successes have been hard won.  The grim economic forecast promises some additional hard times ahead, and there is growing concern about our community’s ability to meet the pressing demands of today. But we are a resilient community. The current economic and political climate has also provided us with many opportunities to once again show the impact and value of international NGOs. This year’s conference will focus on transforming our future and shaping the next 25 years of service to the world’s disadvantaged. Our engaging sessions provide a space to explore new knowledge and proven strategies to grow your organization. Our goal is to inspire and challenge you to join us as we enter the next stage in the evolution of the international NGO movement. InterAction is much more than one office in Washington, D.C. We are the collective energies of 180 organizations and 106,000 staff working in every corner of the world—a united voice for positive global change. With a new brand and clarity of mission, we are well positioned to transform perceptions of our community and create circles of influence to shape a better world. The staff of InterAction and I look forward to meeting with you over the next four days and continuing our work together in the coming year. Sincerely,

Samuel A. Worthington President & CEO InterAction

Tackling the Problems of Slums and Urban Poverty Salon D This workshop will address the challenges, successes and importance of tackling urban poverty and the related problems of slum dwellers. Slum dwellers and the urban poor are among the fastest-growing segments of the world population. The problems are traditionally seen to attach primarily to issues of the physical environment—availability of infrastructure, housing and services—and access to land tenure and property rights. However, urban issues embrace more than these. They are multisectoral in nature and thereby even more challenging for those who seek to address them. In the burgeoning urban space, issues that must be urgently addressed include health, employment, food security, governance and participation, stability, youth and workforce development and organizational capacity building. The problems of urban poverty affect not only the urban poor themselves but, in their implications, increasingly members of the larger community as well.

This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity to review and discuss why and how InterAction members have applied rights-based approaches in their health and development programs, moving from rhetoric to practical implementation. The workshop will provide case studies from NGO programs designed and/or evaluated from a rights perspective and generate discussion among panelists and audience on both the added value and challenges of rights-based approaches. Through practical examples from different geographic and community settings, the workshop will gather concrete lessons learned, supporting the NGO community’s efforts to advance human rights through our collective development efforts.

Full Program strategies to develop safe environments where citizens can participate and be held accountable in political life and civil society. A lasting peace in post-crisis countries is more likely when the right investments are made in both democratic governance and development. In this session, practitioners and policy experts highlight key challenges facing countries emerging from conflict and discuss specific actions that donors, the media and local stakeholders have taken for effective conflict prevention and resolution. The workshop will include traditional presentations as well as call upon delegates to play an active role in the course, drawing out their own skills and experiences. Presenters will examine case studies from countries in Africa, the Americas, South Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East as well as forecast where violence is expected to reemerge and what can be done to stop it.

Assessing the Impact of Complex Development Interventions and Applying Results Salon J Development practitioners agree that complex problems require multifaceted interventions that deliver both technical and behavior-change solutions. Yet, while program participants, donors and our own organizations demand evidence of program effectiveness and impact, there is disagreement about how impact is defined and measured (ranging from arguments for experimental design to participatory and emergent approaches). Furthermore, understanding the levers of change and how evaluations can influence decisions to improve the effectiveness of programs presents an equally important challenge.

14

This session invites panelists to explore the intersection of evaluation methods, decision making and leadership to uncover how an organization can generate better development outcomes and wrestle with two key questions: How can we best test whether and, if yes, how various complex interventions lead to better development outcomes? Given the simultaneous demands for more comprehensive responses to development challenges and more rigorous evidence, how can evaluations encourage leaders to make decisions based on the impact of interventions?   Moderator: Carlisle Levine, Senior Technical Advisor, Advocacy Evidence Systems and Impact Assessment, CARE USA Panelists: Anju Malholtra, Vice President, Social and Economic Development, International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) Howard White, Executive Director, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) An Informal Conversation: Shaping Public Opinion for Development Salon K CEOs and Senior Communication and Policy Staff Only.

10:30am – noon North/South Policy Advocacy: Incorporating Southern Participation and Leadership in Global Campaigns Salon D Most aid experts agree that local ownership is a key component of sustainable development policies and programs, yet the role and leadership of Southern voices in global advocacy is limited. Transnational advocacy campaigns and North-South networks play a critical role in promoting pro-poor policymaking. However, Southern populations find it difficult to participate meaningfully in the social, economic and environmental advocacy that impacts their lives and livelihoods. The question is how to promote evidence-based advocacy campaigns that reflect Southern knowledge and leadership and contribute to pro-poor policymaking.  The key considerations are: • Global and  regional capacity to support southern leaders, CSOs and community participation in global advocacy   • Information sharing on current development policy issues to strengthen local knowledge contribution   • Participation  and  institutionalization  mechanisms 16

Developing Better Measures of Organizational Performance and NGO Ranking Salon E NGOs are under pressure to demonstrate their effectiveness and accountability. Currently, financial metrics represent the main proxy for rating an organization. Furthermore, some experts caution that an NGO might do “more harm than good” unless it can provide objective measures of its outcomes. In addition, a well-developed performance management system is considered vitally important for an NGO to provide optimal social value and to be more accountable to the communities it serves. But efficiency-based indicators rarely reflect the actual effectiveness or impact of an organization and also do not produce impact assessment capability, which is more likely to support processes of learning within and across NGOs. Some rating agencies, such as Charity Navigator, are in the process of developing a more comprehensive and impact-driven understanding of NGO activities. The panel will offer academic and practitioner perspectives on emerging practices within the NGO community and explore how practitioners, academics and rating agencies can collaborate in developing more meaningful measurements of an organization’s impact.

This interactive workshop will highlight new ideas that can be used to improve fieldlevel development programming, focusing closely on climate change issues. Participants will explore how to strategically plan for disasters before they occur, using as a guide the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), the global blueprint for disaster risk reduction. In January 2005, 168 governments adopted HFA, the 10-year plan to make the world safer from natural hazards and to substantially reduce disaster losses in lives and in the social, economic and environmental assets of communities and countries.  Panelists will discuss the five priorities for action, including national frameworks for disaster risk reduction, assessing risks and early warning systems, education to create a culture of safety and resilience, reduction of underlying risk factors and disaster preparedness.

Steve Weir, Vice President Global Programs, Habitat for Humanity International Keeping Beneficiaries Safe: Effective Approaches to Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Salon J Organizational misconduct attacks and undermines the fundamental agreement we have with beneficiaries. In the next 25 years, the work of humanitarian organizations will be compromised by the violation of trust if organizations do not learn now how to “walk the talk” and become more accountable. This workshop will demystify sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by confronting the challenges faced by organizations in the development of effective, ethnical and accountable SEA-focused policies and programs. The workshop will be a café-style learning and sharing experience. Participants will discuss SEA terminology and common assumptions, hear about others’ experiences and real life SEA-focused case studies. Participants will learn that: • Every organization, large or small, has or continues to be overwhelmed when faced with the challenge of addressing SEA. • Tools and resources are available. Staff tasked with addressing SEA are not alone. • There are a number of approaches organizations might take to reframe SEA prevention and response efforts.

Alexandria InterAction’s PVO Standards are highly regarded around the world. How did they come about? How do they serve our members and the public? How could they be improved, updated, simplified? How do they relate to other standards? What do we know about our member organizations from compiling information from our 2006 and 2008 Self-Certification Plus (SCP) Process? Where do our members need technical support or assistance? Where do standards go from here? What is the status of an InterAction seal of approval? Join an interactive discussion designed to uncover what works and doesn’t work about InterAction’s PVO Standards and our SCP Process and to lead to the formation of stakeholder groups to revamp the standards over the next two years. Speakers: Taina Alexander, Program Manager, Membership and Standards, InterAction Barbara Wallace, Vice President, Membership and Standards, InterAction Will the U.S. Lead by Example? Financing an International Response to Climate Change Salon D As a leading emitter of greenhouse gasses, the United States has a responsibility to compensate for its historical contributions to global climate change. Securing a new international climate agreement will hinge on the willingness of the United States to identify sustainable development pathways and to support vulnerable developing countries as they struggle to adapt to a warming world. To meet its leadership responsibilities internationally, U.S. domestic legislation and commitments under a new climate treaty must include robust financing for international climate adaptation and mitigation. Join our panelists in a discussion on potential legislative, appropriations and other mechanisms for generating, allocating and managing U.S. contributions, as well as analysis of recent legislative and policy initiatives for insights into how likely it is that the United States will fulfill its commitment to respond effectively and decisively to climate change.

Threats to Civil Society: Government Restrictions on CSO Voice, Operations and Activities Salon E In recent years, governments from around the world have enacted laws and issued regulations that have the potential to severely limit the formation, operation and activities of civil society organizations (CSOs). From increasing government oversight in Ethiopia to the imposition of restrictive tax laws in India to the proposed Partner Vetting System in the United States, global NGO space faces a multitude of constraints. This session will examine the nature of the restrictions being imposed on CSOs, explore their origins and discuss the implications of these restrictions for civil society, including development and humanitarian organizations. Representatives from India, Ethiopia and the United States  will present insightful analyses of the threats to NGO space in their countries, and initiate a discussion of possible CSO responses.

4:30pm – 6:00pm Follow the Money: Humanitarian Financing and You! Salon D Over the past decade, a variety of new humanitarian financing mechanisms have been developed. There appears to be a slow trend away from direct bilateral assistance to multilateral pooled funding mechanisms, as some donors find these pooled funding models a good way to channel large amounts of resources that support a unified, UN-coordinated response while making funds available to countries that do not normally attract donor attention and support. Is this a good direction for the NGO and donor communities? Do these new humanitarian financial models allow implementing organizations to access these resources to respond to humanitarian crisis in a timely fashion? This workshop will review the various humanitarian 20

financing mechanisms; explore the experiences, challenges and success stories to date; discuss the future of bilateral and pooled funding; and look at alternative methods of tapping these resources that might be more effective and efficient.

Key to helping farmers adapt to climate stresses will be enabling them to build more resilient and stable farming systems, focusing on reliable, remunerative and equitable livelihoods. To achieve these goals, traditional models of agricultural development need to be revised. This workshop will share strategies and approaches for helping small farmers build climate-resilient, sustainable and profitable farming systems. The focus will be on two key components for success: environment-friendly strategies for boosting productivity, and livelihood strategies that help farmers take advantage of market-based opportunities to increase incomes and enhance food security. Presenters will describe the links between climate change adaptation, production techniques and livelihood strategies. They will discuss techniques for building climate resilience in farming systems that offer improved yields and diversified income sources. Successful models of agricultural “adaptation” to climate change will be introduced, including funding sources for adaptation-related field programs (e.g., carbon markets). Discussion will include capacity-building needs related to technical assistance, market development and supporting policies. Moderator: Assheton L.

A Discussion with InterAction’s President Salon K CEOs and member boards only. The last year has seen dramatic changes in the external environment in which our organizations operate: encroachment on the NGO space, the financial crisis, the 2008 presidential elections and new administration and shifts in funding for our sector, among others. InterAction’s members, large and small, are invited to discuss these and other policy issues and external trends that are shaping our community and will redefine the manner in which our programs are conducted. During this session, member CEOs and their Boards will explore solutions to our common concerns, share lessons learned during the last year and determine priorities to guide InterAction’s future course.

Approaches for Funding Security Programming Salon H As organizations continue to operate in conflict-prone areas, it is imperative to have a dedicated NGO security infrastructure. The effectiveness of the humanitarian community entails that it is absolutely accountable to donors. Funding for staff safety and security should be included as a necessary line item of each humanitarian grant proposal.

Moderator: Samuel Worthington, President and CEO, InterAction Leveraging International NGO Field Experience to Inform Aid Reform Salon J Congress and the Obama administration are engaged in an effort to reform U.S. government development policy and programs. As both aid implementers and advocates, NGOs are in a unique position to comment on how foreign assistance should be shaped to be most effective. U.S. NGOs have been actively involved in both domestic and international efforts to improve the policies that affect the impact of development and humanitarian assistance. They also often have decades of experience implementing aid programs. Despite this wealth of knowledge, the link to NGO practice and field experience has been largely missing from current discussions about aid reform. Please join us for this session as we seek to tap what NGOs know about what works on the ground, and discuss how this can be framed to inform policy and current efforts to modernize U.S. foreign assistance.

How “Best Practices” Get Better: A Cycle of Innovation in Agriculture and Food Security Salon E Improvements in agricultural development programs depend on capturing and clarifying innovations, lessons learned and best practices.  However, efforts to identify and incorporate successful field experiences across the sector have often been unsystematic. Rapid change in many settings means that best practices and innovations need to react with increasing speed and flexibility. If strengthened creatively, the cycle of innovation, confirming best practices, identifying technical gaps and innovative ways to fill them offers a powerful way to improve programs.

8:00am – 9:00am Networking Breakfast Arlington Salon IV This breakfast will feature networking and discussion at each table around a topical issue that concerns the NGO community. The facilitated discussion is an opportunity for participants to engage one another in idea sharing and make new connections.  We encourage participants to seek ways to continue the dialogue long after the Forum.

9:00am – 10:30am Critical Issues in Financial and Human Resources Management in a Global Economy Salon D This session will explore the best practices related to challenges of managing people and money as they cross international borders.  ORC Worldwide will present on how international NGOs can use data to make decisions and implement strategies related to compensating, retaining and building the capacity of a diverse workforce. A special focus will be on compensating local staff with internationally valued skill sets.  Fisken & Company will present on best practices and policies related to managing overseas American employees in light of recent changes in the IRS tax code related to the overseas housing exclusion and increased tax liabilities resulting from hazard pay compensation packages, as well as host country taxation. Standard Bank will round out the session by highlighting financial management tools and services that can serve to manage risk and promote efficiencies as organizations disperse donor funding across the globe. This will include discussion about onshore vs. offshore account structures and control, cash management systems to make and view balances across the globe and currency hedging and risk management.

Full Program cymakers, business figures and other leaders will face out to the year 2025. It is an effort to promote strategic thinking on the long-term trends that too few leaders take the time to consider. In exploring the world of 2025, we have identified seven areas of change we expect to be most “revolutionary”: 1. Population 2. Resource management and environmental stewardship 3. Technological innovation and diffusion 4. The development and dissemination of information and knowledge 5. Economic integration 6. The nature and mode of conflict 7. The challenge of governance Each of these seven forces embodies both opportunity and risk in the years ahead. Together, they will transform the way we live and interact with one another. Facilitator: Erik Peterson, Senior Vice President, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Caring for NGO Staff at Home and Overseas Salon H This past year has taken a particular toll on the NGO community, both at the headquarters level and in the field. The economic crisis has led to financial belt-tightening, and in some cases downsizing. How is the InterAction membership helping staff face the challenges of the economic downturn, as it impacts their employers, families and communities? As NGOs continue to operate in difficult environments, how does the community take care of its expatriate and national staff during violent conflicts, evacuations and expulsions?  Are there lessons that can be learned from other professional communities?  Mental health and human resources professionals as well as program staff will discuss challenges and successes in staff care in contexts ranging from the United States to Gaza, Sudan and Sri Lanka.

Health Programming in Relief for Transition Salon J Health interventions in the relief phase have predominately focused on activities to minimize mortality and morbidity, many times in absence of a coordinated national response. Humanitarian actors use standard indicators to ensure rates remain below emergency levels. Yet, as conflicts become more protracted, and evidence mounts that in post-conflict environments indirect mortality and morbidity often rises, the humanitarian community is looking for ways to lessen the gap between relief and development. Humanitarian interventions can set the stage for a more robust and efficient transition phase, when issues such as donor coordination, health system strengthening and disaster risk reduction are addressed. In October 2008, InterAction and USAID’s Office for Foreign Disaster Assistance co-sponsored a two-day workshop on Health Programming in Relief for Transition. The moderator will give a brief recap of the October workshop and the three main recommendations that came out of it, and panelists will discuss donor coordination, health system strengthening and disaster risk-reduction integration. The August Pakistan displacement crises will be reviewed as a case study. Other panelists will include representatives from the U.S. government, NGOs and the UN.

10:45am – 12:15pm Beyond Our Boxes: Implementing Integrated Programming Salon E Development and relief aid has been criticized for its inability to address systemic issues and create lasting change, largely due to numerous constraints that result in sector-specific interventions addressing only one or two critical needs.  However, practitioners know from experience that the most effective programs respond to complex challenges in holistic and coordinated ways. This workshop will approach the topic of integrated programming using different content areas for analysis — climate change, food security, child survival and post-conflict/conflict response.  Panelists from the U.S. NGO community and the U.S. government will explore models and best practices in these areas, and offer practical recommendations for NGOs and policymakers for designing and implementing integrated strategies and responses. Moderator: Carol Jenkins, Acting Senior Vice President, International Development Programs, World Learning Panelists: Janie Hayes, Communications and Advocacy Specialist, PATH Dr. Karen Hardee, Vice President for Research, Population Action International (PAI) Matthew Nims, Office of Food for Peace, USAID InterAction’s Annual Members Meeting Salon F A member only meeting. InterAction member CEOs, or formally authorized designees, are invited to join InterAction’s annual members meeting. The meeting will introduce members to issues under consideration by the Board of Directors and offer a dialogue with Samuel 24

Worthington, InterAction’s President & CEO, and members of different Committees of the Board. Chair: Charles MacCormack, InterAction Board of Directors Raising the Bar — New Tools and Approaches for Transforming Livelihood Programs Salon K The workshop will feature newly released publications and guidance aimed at helping practitioners design and implement more strategic, effective economic programs in humanitarian and post-conflict situations. The complementary resources highlighted will be the SEEP Network’s hot-off-the-press “Minimum Standards for Economic Recovery,” the Women’s Refugee Commission’s newly released “Building Livelihoods: A Field Manual for Practitioners in Humanitarian Settings” and the soon to be released, “Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis Tool (EMMA).” SEEP will provide a brief overview of the Standards, while the Women’s Refugee Commission will focus on operationalizing the Standards, and the International Rescue Committee will focus on a specific piece — implementing market assessments in emergency contexts. Participants will receive copies of the publications and have a chance to learn and discuss their application. Moderator: Sarah Ward, Director of Market Development, Mercy Corps Panelists: Dale Buscher, Director of Protection, Women’s Refugee Commission Karri Goeldner Byrne, Director of the Economic Recovery and Development Technical Unit, International Rescue Committee Laura Meissner, Senior Program Manager, The SEEP Network Humanitarian Pandemic Preparedness: Tools for NGOs Salon J Mounting concern about the inevitability of a pandemic due to influenza has lead to global support for disaster planning efforts in many less-developed countries. The recent H1N1 outbreak has increased global awareness even further. Since 2007, USAID has funded several agencies to reduce the risk of excess mortality

Full Program from an influenza pandemic in over 25 countries with a focus on humanitarian coordination and communitylevel preparedness. There are three principal objectives: 1. To support the development of influenza pandemic preparedness plans, protocols, materials and tools for communities in the areas of health, food security and livelihoods in designated countries. 2. To strengthen the in-country capacities of staff and volunteers of significant humanitarian and civil society organizations to carry out influenza pandemic preparedness plans and protocols. 3. To ensure functional coordination between global, national, district and community-level stakeholders, including the UN system, in the preparedness and response of the humanitarian sector. This session will provide an overview to influenza pandemics, the humanitarian pandemic preparedness initiative, and the tools that have been developed for NGO use in the field. Panelists: Elizabeth Bellardo, Senior Program Manager, InterAction Kathryn Bolles, Director, H2P Initiative, CORE Group Greg Pappas, Senior Coordinator & Technical Specialist for Pandemic Preparedness, InterAction Mark Rasmusen, Vice President and Director, Academy for Educational Development Diversity in the Muslim World — How NGOs Can Work More Effectively With Communities Salon H The Muslim world is very diverse, which can be challenging to NGO staff who are unfamiliar with its complexity.  How can NGOs best prepare staff to deploy to different locations?  Which questions should fieldworkers be asking to learn how best to work in these environments? And how do different development assistance programs fit in the framework of Islam? Join us in a frank, open and interactive discussion on issues that have been identified through years of experience in operating in diverse Muslim communities around the world and here in the United States.

The world’s finance chiefs’ commitments to expand resources to combat the global economic crisis, and World Bank’s report GEP2009 makes the case for including the world’s poor in the recovery of the developed world. While world leaders appear to be united, legislative bodies appear to being slowing the execution of commitments to the world’s poor and most vulnerable communities.
