A synthesis of the initial phase of multi-stakeholder dialogue interviews to assess the situation of orphans and vulnerable children in Midvaal and explore possibilities for making a positive impact.

Phase One of this project has been an assessment of the readiness of the major stakeholders in the Orphans and Vulnerable Children system to participate in a multi-stakeholder change process, as well as whether or not this process would be appropriate to the current situation. To this end we conducted forty “deep dialogue” interviews, desk research, several advocacy meetings, and a multi-stakeholder session. Our detailed findings are found in the body of this report.

Presents the first results of the Destino Colombia project. This report offers four carefully argued, beautifully written scenarios for the future of Colombia, which in themselves are an important contribution to national and international thinking about that country and others in similar situations. Both this content and the process from which it issues offer useful lessons for collaborative, future-creating efforts everywhere. Specifically, it marks a major advance on its methodological predecessor, the South African Mont Fleur scenario project.

The “Mont Fleur” scenario exercise, undertaken in South Africa during 1991–92, was innovative and important because, in the midst of a deep conflict, it brought people together from across organizations to think creatively about the future of their
country. This article presents the Mont Fleur scenarios as they were originally published in the South African newspaper The Weekly Mail & The Guardian Weekly, in July 1992.

[From the text] This paper argues that there were three important arenas in which the Mont Fleur project had an impact. First, it influenced the thinking of the individuals who were involved in the scenario work, some of whom went on to occupy powerful political and national positions as a result of South Africa’s first democratic elec- tions, in 1994.
