Blueprint 8: The Role of Governments, Multilaterals, and Foundations (GMF) in Necessary Transformation (forthcoming)
Purpose of the Blueprint
| Aspect | Explanation |
| Introduction | Between 2016 and 2018, r3.0 developed a set of Blueprints that lay out key transformations in four key areas – reporting, accounting, data, and new business models – that are necessary to spur the emergence of a Green, Inclusive and Open Economy. Governments, multilaterals, and foundations play vital roles in supporting – or blocking – these necessary transformations. So, this Blueprint proposes to identify specific solutions – and opportunity gaps – in the realm of government, multilaterals, and philanthropy, with a particular focus on their roles as catalysers of change. |
| Focus | This GMF Blueprint will explore how governments, multilateral organisations and foundations can implement Recommendations from all r3.0 Blueprints in their own decision-making as well as in their work on positive change through implementation of legislation & regulation, programs & projects, funding & subsidies, and other support categories |
| Link to other r3.0 Blueprints | The GMF Blueprint will make specific use of concepts of earlier developed Blueprints, especially
|
Areas the Blueprint will cover
| Aspect | Explanation |
| The role of GMF |
|
| r3.0 Blueprints normally start with a set of principles that define how to design a best possible maturation pathway to approach a certain topic. This would also be a starting point for this Blueprint and applied for governments, multilaterals and foundations. We would then use existing r3.0 tools, delivered in earlier Blueprints, and apply them to this constituency that obviously has many overlaps in the design of change. | |
| Consequences for policy & tax design | The Blueprint will develop a set of recommendations for the design of public and private policy and will also take into account the aligned systemic role of taxation that supports the ideation of a Green, Inclusive and Open Economy. |
| Consequences for program, project, grant and subsidy design | Through the application of the principles and tools of earlier Blueprints for the purpose of governments, multilaterals and foundations recommendations for the design of programs, projects as well as grants and subsidies will be developed. This may also include lending. |
Resources the Blueprint will build upon
| Resource |
| Research of current literature |
| Subject matter expertise on local, regional and international level |
| Existing ratings, indexes and other benchmarks |
Expected outcomes of the Blueprint
| Outcome | Detail |
| Repository | Drawing on the research for drafting and structuring the Blueprint, r3.0 will set up a repository of online available resources. |
| Infographics from virtual dialogues | r3.0 conducts virtual dialogues on Convetit, an online platform for asynchronous multimedia discussion. Results of the dialogues will be available through a report based on infographics. |
| Public comment | r3.0 will convene a public comment period at final draft level of the Blueprint. Comments will be collected and posted. |
| Blueprint # 8 | The final version of Blueprint #8 will be published as a r3.0 Blueprint Report. |
Parties who should be involved
| Main roles: (S)=sponsors; (W)=work partners; (R)= research partners; (V)=validating/networking partners | |
| Sponsors (S) | Sponsors contribute between 10k and 20k EUR to the project and also participate as working group members. r3.0 also accepts higher donations to the project by sponsors that see a fit with their programs and contribute ‘matching funding’. |
| Research partners (R) | Research Partners are individuals or institutions that contribute in-kind research capacity due to an interest to be involved, given the outcome expected. |
| Work partners (W) | These are members of the working group, partially from sponsoring organizations, but also from civil society, the academic sector, or specialized institutes that can contribute to this project. |
| Validating / networking partners (V) | These are individuals not part of the working group, but experts that can validate central outcomes of the Blueprint. They are used either in online dialogues or interviews. |
