We still need support!

MULTI-STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION FOR
SYSTEM CHANGEJune 12, 2019 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
AGENDA
O b j e c t i v e s• To advance positioning Mongolia as a leading
producer of Sustainable Cashmere by accelerating current efforts;
• To support the Government of Mongolia in the implementation of its Cashmere Program from a sustainability perspective;
• To jointly identify best mechanisms available for national dialogue and collective action for Sustainable Cashmere in Mongolia.
O u t p u t s• Agreement on priority themes calling for aligning
interest to be considered for future national dialogue and collective action;
• Agreement on potential mechanisms for national dialogue and collective action on Sustainable Cashmere in Mongolia;
• Individual commitment to actions to increase collaboration in the short to medium term.
MULTISTAKHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS
ADVANTAGES• Can address a more complex issue than you can tackle
alone
• Partners can access complementary skills and resources from each other
• Results will have broader ownership (more sustainable)
• Learning and collaboration increases chance of systemic change
LIMITS • Requires time and resources to design and implement
properly
• Can only work if there is sufficient representation from stakeholders
• Will often not deliver short-term success: patience is required
• Not easy to find funding for processes that are relatively open-ended and the topics of which may evolve over time
• Success is never guaranteed
MULTISTAKHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS
INITIAL STAGE: SOME COMMON PROBLEMS• Lack of trust between key actors - Misaligned interest
and agenda – no common vision
• Lack of shared understanding on key issues to be addressed for sustainable production
• Business case for engagement not adequately developed – resulting in weak buy-in
• Focusing on negatives rather than language of opportunities
• Sensitive issues are denied or avoided
• Weak representation – unbalanced group of stakeholders, key decision makers absent from the process and/or low market share representation
• Zero or fragmented collective action and investment
• Dialogue not adequately institutionalised / governance structures missing for continued dialogue
• Dialogue not necessarily leading to concrete outcomes – players not made accountable
• Unclear roles for government and private sector on how to participate
