Presentation of the INSPIRED Operating Model for inclusive and participatory policy dialogue and integrated democracy support

The European Partnership for Democracy (EPD), along with the European Commission and the European External Action Service co-organised the final event of the INSPIRED programme on Thursday, November 13, 2014.

During the conference, EPD presented its Operating Model, which outlines the methodology and practical phases of inclusive and participatory policy dialogue and integrated democracy support. The design and concept behind the Operating Model draws from the experiences and practices of INSPIRED in Tunisia, Morocco, Ghana, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan, but also from the shared experiences and knowledge of EPD’s Community of Practice as well consultations with other practitioners.

EPD presented the Operating Model’s three main phases; the collective assessment, the consensus building and the monitoring and alignment, while the INSPIRED partners from Moldova and Tunisia presented their experiences and projects along this framework.

The input from the participants and the conclusions drawn from the fruitful discussion on the Operating Model are set to be included in the final version of the INSPIRED Handbook, which will be published in early 2015.

An executive summary of the INSPIRED Handbook can be found attached.
