Editor's Notes
- ** Background to Regional Champions – 5 mins
- Find out what general planning experience people have, e.g., financial planning? Skills audits? Business plans for funding bids? Signpost to: Knowledgebase starting out articles – see next slide
- Reaffirmation of the benefits of planning and what you need to know to make sure planning is thorough and realistic
- Emphasise that these are BASIC starting points. We’ll go on to cover other sources of help as we go through the workshop
- Open discussion on why a development worker would do this. Has anyone done this? Does anyone think this is a good idea and would they use these tools
- At the end of the session find out what the exercise has made people think about ICT in their own organisations Suggest they do the exercise for real when they go back to their organisations when they have all relevant information to hand
- Guidelines Delegates are given a scenario and a ‘TCO Calculator’ and are required to start the process of budgeting for the ICT element of the project using materials taken from A Guide To Managing ICT page 29 Split into 2 groups Budget lines Feedback how realistic their figures were. Are these OK for the groups they work with?
- How realistic were your figures? Did you include all of these headings? Did you have other headings or important items? How do these compare with the groups which you have worked with?
- How does ICT get funded in development work? What do funders think? Locally and nationally What gets funded? What doesn’t? Can anything be changed? What can WE do? LIST POSITIVES ON FLIP CHART. e.g. Be realistic: Promote benefits: Include skills: Don’t need detailed planning: Formula e.g.1000 for PC looks dodgy. HAND OUT “HOW TO COST AND FUND” GUIDE
