Mattei Plan: Success cases to scale and critical issues to address. A discussionCare of AVSI10:00 - 11:30 | Codeway Plenary
Italy has been present in Africa for decades with short, medium, and long period programs and projects promoting development: from there we need to start over and launch new development programs based on new equal partnerships, as the only practicable way to be followed today. Nevertheless, we necessarily need to proceed along two different directions: on one hand, we need to analyze positive scalable elements contained in successful programs, verifying the possibility of scaling them up, re-proposing the same in different contexts and proportions; on the other hand we need to identify the critical elements and the objective difficulties encountered, so to propose concrete solutions. According to the above, the event proposed and moderated by AVSI, and presented at Codeway, is divided into three parts. The first leaves room for the presentation of three experiences of success in three different areas, all of projects carried out with a multi-stakeholder approach, presented to induce the reaction-comment of the director of the Development Cooperation Directorate, a dialogue that will help to understand how replicable these cases are or what direction the may inspire; the second part focuses on the Climate Fund, chosen as an emblematic case in which huge funds are available, yet due to a series of critical issues, these funds are presently struggling to find candidates available to put in place adequate projects for them; the third part invites representatives of the European and Italian institutions to a dialogue on what has emerged from the discussion, so that the meeting may conclude with the identification of some new operational proposals.Welcome and IntroductionMassimo Zaurrini, InternationaliaThree cases to study:Stefano Gatti, DGCS Director, Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperaton (tbc)Cote D'Ivoire: an educational project, AVSI Country Representative in Cote D'IvoireAn energy access project, Res4AfricaArabica: an agri-food supply chain case, E4Impact, ILLY Caffè, AICSResources and Critical issues: the Italian Climate FundPaolo Lombardo, International Cooperation and Development Finance Director, CDP - Cassa Depositi e PrestitiFrancesco Corvaro, Special Envoy for Climate ChangeAriston, an enterprises that invests in AfricaTalk with the institutionsLorenzo Ortona, Mattei Plan for Africa, Mission Unit Vice CoordinatorUE RepresentativeEmanuela Colombo, CRUI - Conferenza Rettori Università Italiane, Cooperation DelegateQ&A
