Dear all.
Attached us the final draft version of the fund raising strategy that Violeta put together for FFF Phase II. Hopefully we can keep revisiting and updating the work plan.
Best,
Jeff

Subject: Final strategy document and notes

Hi Jeff,

Attached is the final strategy and plan document in a clean version. I filled in most of the gaps as discussed today.

I cc-Zoraya for her support.

Below some notes as lead efforts internally and externally with FFF partners:

·        Worthwhile to get ballpark figure of funding also ‘leveraged in cash and in kind’ for Phase I and of interest for Phase II- information that would be of interest to a number of major current funders and prospects (e.g. GAC asked for this information earlier this year).

·         Gage feedback from FFF partners on networks/platforms they have access to from list or beyond list to incorporate in joint fundraising efforts

·        Get feedback from IUCN and IIED on foundation partner prospects, potential entry points and follow up  (these can include Ford Foundation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, The Christensen Fund, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Mava Foundation whom their institutions currently work with)

·        Follow up on OPIM/OPA process internally and externally with partners

I think this captures the major points. If any questions or other, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

See you next week before I take off.
Violeta

Subject: Updated version- Funding Strategy and Plan

Dear All,

Many thanks to those of you who were able to join the FFF team meeting this afternoon to discuss the draft Funding Strategy and Plan shared by Jeff earlier this month.

Attached please find an updated and clean version of the document.  Thank you for all your support and contributions.

Jeff will work closely with you all to take the strategy and plan forward as FFF aims to secure funding for Phase II. Ultimately, we have a strong interest to build an ever stronger partnership between FFF partners to drive funding efforts going forward. I hope you will find the strategy and plan as a useful source of information and guidance going forward.

It’s been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to staying in touch.

Best wishes,
Violeta

Subject: FW: Revised document to share with partners (includes new title/reformatting and comments)

Dear Violeta (etal),  Thanks for this nearly complete and very thorough Resource mobilization Strategy and Plan.  It is extremely helpful and will guide us as we move forward with raising funding and support for FFF Phase II.  To all those copied, please have a look at the remaining sections which Violeta has requested us to provide input on so that she can incorporate them into the final final version.  This is intended to be an internal document so feel free to make corrections or additions as you see fit – we would especially value inputs from IIED, IUCN and AgriCord to either modify language or to add additional funding opportunities our leads etc..  Your attention to this – this week (if possible) would be super.  I will try and do my bit as well.
Best,
Jeff

Subject: Revised document to share with partners (includes new title/reformatting and comments)

Dear Jeff and all,

Find attached a revised strategy and plan (including annexes) as an updated version following our discussion.

Jeff can share this version with FFF partners, IUCN, AgriCord and IIED to ask for their contributions and feedback on their specific roles and to gage their feedback on the incentives they need to join RM efforts.

The revised package reflects the following updates:


·        New document title changed to “Resource Mobilization Strategy and Plan”

·        Included references to working with FAO Forestry Department/SP3

·        ‘Re-formatted various sections as discussed’ with *pending to be done in the FINAL VERSION

·        Annex 1: Updated work-plan based on verbal feedback received today (*pending are any written inputs to be send by team or partners)

·        Annex 2: Information and contacts added for the GCF, GEF and IFAD

*Please send any further final contributions in writing with specific ideas or text contributions as discussed today (bullet points sufficient) by email to Jeff and I.

After mid-June, Jeff and I will take stock of inputs received from partners and internally from FAO team to finalize.

Thanks,
Violeta

Subject: Recap from meeting- follow up

Dear All,

Here is a recap from our meeting this afternoon and next steps discussed:

Changes Violeta will do:


·        Change document title to “Resource Mobilization Strategy and Plan”   (DONE)

·        Reformat different sections of the document, primarily Section on “Strategic Choices and Plans to Engage Funders…” to capture total funding targets and amounts across priority funders and by minimum, desired and year levels GENERAL FORMATTING DONE, GRAPHS COULD BE INCLUDED IN NEXT VERSION

·        On page 10, include references to internal collaboration with Forestry Department and specific teams, including UN REDD, FLEGT,  (with inputs from Jeff)

·        Annex 1: Work plan (updates from discussion, including FFF Focal Points for backstopping across all funders listed) (DONE)

·        Annex 2: Add funder contacts for IFAD + GEF/GCF (DONE)

Specific inputs required from FFF team and partners:

·        Section on funding modality and outlook- FFF team, specifically Jeff, Jhony and Sophie to work with Zoraya to revise budget table and include all funding contributions, both in cash and leveraged through partnerships. Zoraya to provide final data to send to me. I will then produce a final graph.

·        Funding Scenarios: Team as above to work further on the ‘funding scenarios’-we agreed to not include in the end the 96 million as only target but rather present scenarios as we had done for the project document. Three will be presented with specific timelines and information on what each funding scenario would fund from the full project document (e.g. countries, scope of work, outcomes etc.) Team to decide and Zoraya to send final information to Violeta

·        Partner inputs: Jeff to solicit feedback from partners on various sections. *Jeff- I will send you a revised version by 7 pm today that you can send to the partners for their feedback , and highlight specific sections.

Please add any major points I will fail to capture.

I will touch with Jeff how to finalize after mid-June.

Thanks,
Violeta
