1 HOW WILL WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTICIPATORY GROWTH IN AFRICA AND BEYOND? AFRICA FACILITATION CONFERENCE For governments, national and international commercial and private sectors, civil society, communities, academia and facilitators NAIROBI, KENYA October 21-22, 2016 Facilitation can simply mean enabling or making connections easier. The art or science of enabling is as old as creation and has an especially rich tradition on the African continent. Facilitation can create and promote mutual interest and discussions that lead to last and sustainable understanding and relationships. The more divergent, unequal or at odds the interested parties, the more facilitation can help to create a win-win outcome instead of ongoing dissatisfaction or conflict. Good facilitation ensures fair process, widely sourced inputs, distributed outcomes and interactional justice. In fast moving, diverse and dynamic situations, structured facilitated processes allow very diverse people and teams to quickly achieve important far reaching goals, as well as capitalise on change and uncertainty. Minority and creative voices are protected and facilitation generates powerful inclusive outcomes that more people accept and champion. For centuries people have been working on improving facilitation to make it easier for many to relate and achieve more with greater mutuality. With this milestone conference, International Association of Facilitators - Kenya Chapter together with its partner Chemchemi ya Ukweli aims to show how the power of facilitation is used to significantly improve societal and organisational outcomes and performance. Proposal - Facilitation Conference Africa
2 We will explore together the following THEME: How will we create opportunities for participatory growth in Africa and beyond? Africa s economy is growing fast yet what is the price for it? Looking at the growing gap between rich and poor that is causing frictions in the society we face new challenges and questions. How will we influence a transition from a global economic system driven by consumption, to one driven by the creation of wellbeing and equity? How will natural resource extraction and exploitation support inclusive, accountable and broad-based development? How will we better integrate human dignity, values and spirituality into development policy and practice? How is the shift from occasionally corporate social responsibility to sustainable and socially responsible business practices impacting on business and development outcomes? What social and political coalitions are needed for equitable growth and poverty reduction? Facilitation can enable inclusive conversations around such complex or wicked problems by bringing the many divergent and alternative views to acceptable and workable solutions. Bring your open questions to the conference and lets us all be surprised by the collective wisdom and common sense that unfolds when true participation can take place! The PURPOSE of the conference is to Promote professional facilitation to have inclusive dialogues in the private, public and government sectors in Africa and beyond Host safe spaces for open conversations to participatory growth Engage practicing facilitators in new participatory methodologies/tools Share best-practices of renowned Facilitators especially in Africa Introduce Facilitation to interested future practitioners Give participants an experience/taste of the power of facilitation and how and when it can be used Offer opportunities of networking among facilitators and clients Generate and share the academic research on how and why good facilitation processes achieve greater success Proposal - Facilitation Conference Africa

6 Who are WE? In Kenya during the 1990 s, there was a general increase of violent confrontations nation-wide emanating from attempts at constitutional reforms, growing tensions around multi-party democracy, poor governance practices at national level, and lack of public safety. Chemchemi Ya Ukweli (CYU) Kiswahili for Wellspring of Truth Trust is an interfaith movement that was founded in 1997 by a group of religious leaders concerned about this growing culture of violence in Kenya. Its founding fathers, who were rooted in the ideas of Catholic Social Teaching, introduced the concept of active non-violence as an alternative means in the struggle for peace and justice in that country. This process was supported by several international partners, among them Misereor, the overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Germany. Since that time, CYU has succeeded in creating awareness broadly on various forms of injustice in Kenya and has managed to mobilize people to demand their rights through peaceful actions. Since inception, CYU has also changed from its original roots within the Catholic Church to a more inclusive movement, which has put a strong emphasis on its interfaith nature, thereby reaching out to other Christian denominations, Muslims, Baha is and Hindus. During the same time, its strategies also expanded to include civic education and community policing. The International Association of Facilitators (IAF) is a participatory organisation with members in more than 65 countries. As a professional association, we set internationally accepted industry standards, provide accreditation, support a community of practice, advocate and educate on the power of facilitation and embrace the diversity of facilitators. If we were to use just one sentence to describe what the IAF does and stands for, it would be "enabling powerful change". Every meeting or process that is facilitated has an impact on the individuals and the groups of which they are a part. Good facilitation can change the way people think and act, and ultimately support them to positively change the world around them. IAF is a global association for process facilitators, representing facilitators from different sectors, such as development, government and the private sector. The Association was founded in 1994 and currently has more than 1,500 members worldwide and 33 local chapters from all five continents of the world. A chapter is a community of facilitators who organize activities together in line with the core mandate of IAF that is promoting the power of facilitation worldwide. Currently, there are 33 IAF members in Africa and two chapters (in Kenya and South Africa). There are also members in Cameroon, Togo, Nigeria, Mozambique and Uganda.
