Main components of a RMS
• Resource Mobilization Situation Analysis
• The Resource Target
• The RM Action Plan (RMAP)
• Monitoring and Evaluation
• Check you are ready to start... is your programme framework (at country level – the CPF) in place?
• Strategically position FAO... does FAO have a clear comparative advantage/niche?
• Review priorities and the resource requirements... what is realistic?
• Analyse the resource environment... who is out there?
Preparing the Action Plan
Achieving
• Establish the goal, outcomes, key outputs and guiding principles... is RM considered important and everybody’s everyday business in your office?
• Identify resource partners and match interests to priority areas... find out who is really interested
• Develop an Action plan (identify, engage, negotiate, manage and report and communicate results)... get practical and make it your everyday business.
