Mutual Peer Reviews between Organisations based on CSO Development Effectiveness principles have been piloted in 2012 by the Czech Forum for Development Cooperation - FoRS. This presentation for the association IDEAS shows key principles, steps for implementation and lessons learnt. The peer reviews can be used to bring Codes and frameworks alive and to develop capacities of orgaisations.

Notes de l'éditeur
- How to make assessment more objective ? How to build capacities of CSOs beside workshops ? How to enhance sharing expertise of the platform members ? How to involve small, volunteer -based organisations, with highly limited resources? How to promote the guidelines beyond the platform? … And how to do it with minimum costs ? Workshops have been organized by FoRS as per the needs identified. However, only a limited number of CSO representatives could participate due to limited capacities and time constraints. Moreover, it has been realized that workshops and guidelines (such as the Code) are not sufficient to progress on the quality issues. It was identified that innovative solutions were needed to ignite a wider debate on development effectiveness and to foster capacity building among diverse actors, including less formal, often volunteer-based CSOs, individual experts, students as well as companies and state actors. Therefore two new concepts have been launched: (A) DevelopmentCoffee.org and (B) Peer Reviews.
- Besides annual self-evaluations as the main voluntary principle agreed in the FoRS Code on Effectiveness, the Peer Reviews are strongly recommended in order to increase objectivity of the assessment, to provide valuable external feedback to reviewed organisations and to support mutual learning and capacity building. The Peer Reviews have been inspired by the Global Education Network Europe (GENE) approach and especially by the experience of RORG-network , which introduced Peer Reviews in 2008 as one of the quality-building measures of the development education sector in Norway. The main purpose of RORG-network was to develop a certain degree of common understanding of development education. The lessons learnt, especially the engagement of several experts and focus on the uniqueness and added value of each organisation, in line with the appreciative inquiry approach , have served as a basis for developing a Czech system of development CSO Peer Reviews (FoRS, September 2011). FoRS Peer Reviews allow a structured, in-depth debate on each principle of the FoRS Code on Effectiveness and mutual learning among self-selected peer CSOs. The process is facilitated through FoRS on-line Code of Effectiveness questionnaire, where FoRS members indicate their interest in the Peer Review. The member CSOs can also directly approach concrete peers based on the area they would like to get feedback on, ranging from awareness raising activities, to development interventions in the field, to general management. The sector overview of FoRS Secretariat is often helpful to identify such peers from among the member organisations. Drawing from the Norwegian experience, pilot Peer Reviews were launched by FoRS in cooperation with its member organisation SIRIRI in 2012, whereby five organisations were involved in this pilot phase. During the process, evidence is shared to jointly assess each indicator and draw recommendations for any changes if applicable. Moreover, SIRIRI has used the exercise not only to review each principle of the FoRS Code on Effectiveness, but also to get feedback on its overall strategy and ways forward. Other members tested mutual Peer Reviews bilaterally.
