Activity 1: Service Delivery and Responsive Investment<br />
Ask the group to reflect on the following table. You may want to include it on a power point slide or give<br />
it as a handout provided in the <strong>Training</strong> Materials Guide. You could even divide flip chart paper into two<br />
and fill in the service delivery side and ask people to guess what they think the correlating response<br />
would be for responsive investment.<br />
Service Delivery<br />
Focus on needs<br />
Responds to problems<br />
Charity or entitlement orientation<br />
Emphasis is on external organizations<br />
Power comes from credentials<br />
Motivation to act comes from incentives/terms <strong>of</strong><br />
employment<br />

People are clients and consumers<br />
Programs are the answer<br />
Responsive Investment<br />
Focus on assets<br />

People are the answer<br />
Ask people to form groups <strong>of</strong> 2-4 people and discuss if there organizations operates more in service<br />
delivery mode or responsive investment mode or both. What kinds <strong>of</strong> questions would they need to ask<br />
to ensure an activity was genuinely community-driven and investment-ready? What kinds <strong>of</strong> things<br />
would they look for? Ask them to come up with a checklist <strong>of</strong> what they would look for if they wanted<br />
to invest in something genuinely community-driven.<br />
Ask the groups to come back and share the checklist with the rest <strong>of</strong> the group.<br />
Below, you will find an example <strong>of</strong> a responsive investment fund established by Oxfam Canada in<br />
Ethiopia, which could be adapted to suit some <strong>of</strong> the groups that you are working with. It is also<br />
included in the <strong>Training</strong> Materials Guide. Give each participant a copy <strong>of</strong> the Community Leverage Fund<br />
handout and allow 5 minutes for participants to read in silence.<br />
