About the World Café Methodology (WCM)
•It’s an iterative conversational process (on the basis of a number of conversational rounds);
•It allows to build on the advantages of “coffee-time” discussions;
•Conversations link, build on each on the and spiral up as people change tables, cross-pollinate ideas, and discover new insights into the questions
•Everyone gets a chance to discuss all the topics within the WG.

Needs Responses Strengths Weaknesses
Feasibility
(1) Support long-term processes & strengthen the sustainability of interventions and organisations
(i) Programme fundingMulti-annual strategic partnership agreements with CSOs.(ii) Calls for proposals with multiple funding phases
(iii) Follow-up grants
(2) Support interventions of third countries grass-roots & community-based organisations
(i) Re-granting/block grantsA larger sum of low value grants is given for distribution to intermediary organisations(ii) Financing in full under exceptional (100% of eligible costs covered by grant) and/or recognition of in-kind contributions(iii) Ringfencing of funds – reserve a share of the funding for these organisations
Final notes
• Please remember that there is never one single view;
• Please be specific when presenting your views;
• Please use your expertise and knowledge to illustrate debates;
• Please argue for the benefit of the group, and not just for the benefit of your individual institution/organisation;
• And please feel free to agree to disagree when necessary and allow yourself to be creative and bring in new perspectives.
