A well – known international NGO is forced to review its sources of
financial funding as governments’ support is subject to criticism and expected
to be seriously reduced in the near future. They seek alternative avenues for
funding and start exploring cooperation with the Private Sector. The key
question is ‘how to’? In two workshops (Tanzania and Kenya), a stakeholder
dialogue was facilitated with various partners (partners, chamber of commerce,
government officials and local reps of the NGO) around the need and desire to
reflect on different ways to cooperate. This implied that different frames of
reference were exchanged and made explicit. Judgements, prejudices and views
about integrity, bureaucracy and corruption were addressed in a
non-threatening, role-play manner.
