Planning together

A convening is the result of a team work that engages not only the hosting programme/team but most of the Operations and Organisational development teams as well: People, Systems and Operations, Finance, Tech Systems and Support; MEL and Communications, Resource Mobilisation.

With this in mind it is critical to have clear processes, workflows and procedures that can accompany and facilitate the realisation of collective efforts.

The Manual intends to apply an organic approach to various elements that make up a successful convening, making the interdependencies visible that exist between the various tasks that influence the timeline. This is critical to ensure that the most discriminated participants (see visa application) have enough time to be supported for travel and participate meaningfully and that all contracted services as well resource persons have the adequate administrative and content information.
