Subject Annex 05 MENA new strategy for Arab Regional Initiative Discussion What are the AADK Board s perspective on Strategic direction and future of Arab Regional Initiative (ARI)? The Board s role vis-à-vis ARI? Funding and advocacy work? In line with the AAI appraisal of the MENA program in March 2012 and the subsequent AAI General Assembly Approval in June 2012 it was decided that the AA Australia opt (Occupied Palestinian Territory) and AA Denmark MENA programmes should be treated separately going forward. The AADK regional programme should be treated as a special initiative for the time being and further development be under the auspices of AAI. Consequently the AADK programme in the opt should be fully integrated and aligned to the AAA programme with one integrated management. Furthermore, and subject to AAI Board Approval a 5-year Regional Strategy should be jointly developed by AAA and AADK, with AAI leadership and support. In conjunction with the appraisal and decision of the AAI General Assembly a plethora of changes and interventions have been implemented in the MENA program over the past six months period in order to align the program to ActionAid as well as addressing programmatic, management, fundraising and human resource related issues. For discussion of the Board I forlængelse af AAI s evaluering af MENA programmet i marts 2012 og Generalforsamlingens efterfølgende vedtagelse i juni 2012 er det blevet besluttet at AA Australiens program i Palæstina og Mellemfolkeligt Samvirkes MENA program skulle anskues som separate programmer fremefter. Mellemfolkeligt Samvirkes regionale program skal for nuværende anses som et særligt regionalt initiativ og yderlige programudvikling skal ske under ActionAid Internationals ledelse. Dermed skal MS program aktiviteter i Palæstina integreres med AA Australiens program under dets ledelse. Desuden skal nye 5 årige strategier, under det international sekretariats ledelse og støtte samt bestyrelens endelige vedtagelse, udvikles i fællesskab imellem AA Australien og MS. I forbindelse med evalueringen samt Generalforsamlingens beslutning er der i den forgangne seksmåneders periode igangsat en række ændringer og interventioner i MENA programmet med henblik få at strømline det til ActionAid samt adressere emner relaterende til program, ledelse, fundraising og personale. Til diskussion for Bestyrelsen 05.01 Orientation regarding MENA
