Towards a CGIAR Resource Mobilization Strategy: Discussion Document Commissioned by PARC

Discussion paper prepared by a working group of the CGIAR Public Awareness and Resources Committee (PARC) in response to a call from the Consultative Council for a carefully thought out fund raising strategy. The paper identifies the components of a strategy, and raises resource mobilization issues which the working group thinks need to be resolved at a CGIAR level before an effective strategy can be designed and implemented. Specific ides for short term resource mobilization initiatives are also suggested. There are several appendices, including one on a CGIAR Foundation.Agenda document, CGIAR Mid Term Meeting, May 1999

Action notes: No. 6: Constitutions

Before an organisation can draw up a constitution, it must decide what kind of organisation it wants to be. An organisation can be a legally constituted organisation which registers with government bodies or it can be an organisation by constitution alone. If an organisation makes a profit from selling things or else administers large sums of money, it must be legally constituted. Such an organisation would be called a closed corporation or a trust fund. If you want to write such a constitution, you should consult a lawyer for advice. Organisations such as civic organisations or advice offices are usually organisations by constitution alone. This means that there is a clause in the constitution which says the organisation has its own personality and that it can be sued or be in debt just like an ordinary person. This book will help those who want to write constitutions for organisations which are organisations by constitution alone

Intonation Awareness

Young instrumentalists are taught to press buttons or keys to make pitches sound from their instruments, but that doesn\u27t always ensure that they are in the center of the pitch. It also doesn\u27t ensure that they are in tune with those around them. It is important to improve awareness that pitch is not only physical, but conceptual as well. It is important that instrumentalists know how to center pitch and make adjustments while playing their individual instruments, to compensate for tendencies of said instrument. There are many ways to practice this. I met with four flutists three times to try to help them with this process. They sang, used tuners, and created a journal. All of this helped increase awareness of playing in tune. In the end, they found out what adjustments they needed to make individually to get the pitch closer to the center

Action notes: No. 3: Workshops

They could include: teaching your activists a skill, like running meetings or producing media; analysing a new political development e.g. an election or a new law; planning a programme of action or a campaign; evaluating the work you have done in the past year, or the work you have done for a campaign; sorting out internal problem like structures that are not appropriate or a break down in working relationships. Whatever the reason for your workshop, you need to make sure that the aim is clear right from the start. Before you begin planning, you need to sort out exactly why you are having the workshop and what you hope to achieve by having the workshop. If your aim is clear, you can go ahead with the planning. This pamphlet is about planning a workshop ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE

Demographics, Ethics, Awareness

Ethics in medicine is not a new concern. But it has become much more pronounced in modern times. The issues involved may range from right diagnosis and right treatment to the fees charged to patients, and the administration of insurance and medical bills. This issue cuts across all genres of medicine, traditional as well as conventional. In this section we have video clips that inform us about how doctors following different medical systems talk about fees and ethics in their practice.Asian StudiesHindi Urdu FlagshipSouth Asia Institut
