 Mae'r fforddau o'i gweithio ar gyfer o'r cymuned ddechrau ond oes ydych chi'n tro i bleisio'r dweud ar gyfer y dweud. A'r ddechrau sy'n gweithio'r projec llwyth yn ymdill yn ymddiffyn, mae'r ddiwedd i'r gwneud i'r dweud eich wneud ymddangosol o elu o'r llwyth ar gyfer. Mae'r rhan o gweithio'r dweud yn ymddangosol sy'n gweithio'r prys â'r cyfnodion, mae'n gwneud i gweithio'r ffrindio, Ie ddweud o'r byddai, ond ar hyn yn ymlaen, maen nhw'n dweud adroddfiol iawn. O wylech bod ysgolwch yn gweithio gwneud i gael'r dda'r ddau a swydd yn gyflawn i'r projektiadau ar y ddod. Fod y ffaith cyhoeddwn i'n meddwl o ran ystod a yma'r bunding yn gallu gydan nhw'n adroddfiol yn ysgolwch yn blaen. Roedd y gallwn yn gweithio ar fireshaf, rwy'n gweithio ar ffordd bynnag o'r buddyn nhw. ac mae'n gwahog i'n dod o'r cyflawn i'r bod ni'n gweld i'n bywyd i dda i'r cymrydau a'u bod siaradau bydden nhw, ac mae'n gweithio l tread yn golygu d math gyda i GACY Fyloedd Pwyllwr. Rwy'n hollur ar gyfer y gyfrifau, mae'n dragi'n goll ychydig pan cyflawn i ddweud i'r cyfrifiethau yn gwyfyrd â'i cyfan yn ganlwyddoedd. Dus arwain i GACY Fyloedd Gwyrdd Pwyllwr i gyd, help us improve the impact of all civic tech by allowing you to concentrate on your work, not just your fundraising. If you're a donor and you're framing a problem as a very technical problem, you're looking for silver bullets, magic fixes for things, that's exactly what you're going to get. The proposal sounds very tech-optimistic. It's going to transform the world. Actually, when you talk to them, it's part of a very small part of a long-term, very politically savvy bit of work. It's not just a quick fix. Donors have a responsibility not to be calling for magic bullets. I also think that practitioners have a responsibility not to kind of oversell. In a six-month, one-year, two-year project, or very unlikely to transform governance. Governance is a long-term change process. Innovation is a long-term change process. So let's be realistic about the kind of impacts or outcomes that we hope to see. Asking the right questions at the right time within the design of an initiative is often more important than having the answers. If you're not entirely sure what you're expecting to achieve, how can you be sure about when you're achieving it? How accessible is evidence? So we can talk about open access, what have you. But also the language in which research is written can have a tendency to be inaccessible to a lot of people. I think we need to be looking at perhaps more realistic theories of change of how research knowledge can then translate into change in practice and in policy. We need to invest more in research communications, in knowledge brokering. If you think about open data, you wouldn't expect the majority of people to engage directly with the data. You're relying on skilled intermediaries to pull out the interesting stuff, to translate that, to contextualize it and communicate it. Practitioners have a responsibility here that do your homework, engage with the evidence that exists and they expect to be challenged. Every organization thinks that the project that they are leading is the best one, has the best methodology and the other ones aren't as good for X and X reason. I found that when you get people together in a workshop setting where they're able to get away from their computers and dedicate three or four hours to say, what's our ultimate goal that we're striving for and where does it make sense for us to complement each other and to get rid of certain aspects of the work where there just clearly is duplication, it takes time because people have to fly to the same city and have this discussion, but usually I think it's worth it. What is a concrete problem that you're trying to resolve, such as more access to water in this particular county in Kenya and then working backward? And what are the roles of transparency, participation and accountability in reaching that goal? Those proposals that recognize up front, yes, we know that there are five other organizations doing very similar work and here's how we collaborate with them are by far the best ones and I think that we can do a better job requesting that information in the proposal process. Framing things in a more action-researchy, learning-focused approach can help you get around some of the potential barriers in proposal writing because what you're saying is, we're exploring this question, you're not promising particular outcomes.
