How to use the hub model
IFAD SL Workshop

• List the agencies
• Identify the functions that they do / should do
  (enabling, service provider, client)
• this may mean separating a whole agency into
  parts by function (eg Min of Ag)
• Consider the nature of the relationships between
  the functions what are they, what should they
  be?
• Try drawing them on the triangle
• Include flows of funds with arrows

How to use the 4Rs
IFAD SL Workshop

• Many ways to use this social enquiry tool and at
  different stages. For example, in stakeholder
  group
• Use a facilitator as a neutral party (power is a
  sensitive subject)
• Steps to success
• Background research (history, politics, legal and
  fiscal)
• Determine the current roles of the stakeholders
• rights, revenues, responsibilities
  relationships
• Negotiate the future roles of the stakeholders
  (take it in steps small easy wins first!)
• Capacity mapping

• For each stakeholder group (and particularly poor
  stakeholders)
• how does the policy issue ( potential changes)
  affect their access to livelihood assets
• how does it affect their vulnerability
• what relations do they have with the different
  institutions and organisations concerned
• what livelihood stategies do they currently
  employ and how are they affected by the policy
  issue ( potential changes
• how will their livelihood outcomes be affected
• how can they be engaged in the process of
  influencing and changing policy
