For decades, international development has followed a simple rule: those who control the money set the priorities. Local organisations are often left adapting their ideas to fit donor funding.<div><br></div><div>What if we flipped the script?</div><div><br></div><div>The Reverse Call for Proposals (RCfP) turns this approach around. Communities and local organisations define their priorities, develop solutions and invite potential partners to support them.</div><div><br></div><div>In Nyankanga, Zambia, and Garizegu, Northern Ghana, communities identified their needs and assets before inviting external organisations to respond. They also had the opportunity to assess potential partners, their track records and their willingness to make long-term commitments.</div><div><br></div><div>This approach challenges the usual balance of power. Just as donors assess local organisations, local actors should be able to ask potential partners: Who are you accountable to? How flexible is your funding? What decisions will we control?</div><div><br></div><div>It also calls for a different understanding of capacity. Local organisations already have knowledge, relationships and experience. The question is not simply what they lack, but what support they need to achieve their goals.</div><div><br></div><div>International organisations still have a role to play—as partners, connectors and resource mobilisers, rather than gatekeepers.</div><div><br></div><div>Ultimately, participation is not the same as agency. Communities need more than a seat at the table; they need the authority and resources to shape decisions that affect their lives.</div><div><br></div><div>The Reverse Call for Proposals is therefore more than a funding mechanism. It challenges who sets priorities, controls resources and makes decisions.</div><div><br></div><div>Question for discussion: What would it take for donors and international NGOs to trust local organisations to set the agenda, and what changes would be needed in funding systems to make this a reality?</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps shifting power is not about moving seats around the existing table. Perhaps it is about reimagining the table itself.</div>

This community is for professional and enthusiast users, partners and programmers. You can ask questions about:

  • how to install Odoo on a specific infrastructure,
  • how to configure or customize Odoo to specific business needs,
  • what's the best way to use Odoo for a specific business need,
  • how to develop modules for your own need,
  • specific questions about Odoo service offers, etc.

Before you ask - please make sure to search for a similar question. You can search questions by their title or tags. It’s also OK to answer your own question.

Please avoid asking questions that are too subjective and argumentative or not relevant to this community.

You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of this site and push other questions off the front page.

To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where …

  • every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?”
  • your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?”
  • there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.”
  • we are being asked an open-ended, hypothetical question: “What if ______ happened?”
  • it is a rant disguised as a question: “______ sucks, am I right?”

If you fit in one of these example or if your motivation for asking the question is “I would like to participate in a discussion about ______”, then you should not be asking here but on our mailing lists. However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK.

(The above section was adapted from Stackoverflow’s FAQ.)

  • Answers should not add or expand questions. Instead either edit the question or add a question comment.
  • Answers should not comment other answers. Instead add a comment on the other answers.
  • Answers shouldn't just point to other Questions. Instead add a question comment indication "Possible duplicate of...". However, it's ok to include links to other questions or answers providing relevant additional information.
  • Answers shouldn't just provide a link a solution. Instead provide the solution description text in your answer, even if it's just a copy/paste. Links are welcome, but should be complementary to answer, referring sources or additional reading.

Answers should not start debates This community Q&A is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essence of questions and answers. For brief discussions please use commenting facility.

When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.

For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 2 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table given at the end explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.

The goal of this site is create a relevant knowledge base that would answer questions related to Odoo.

Therefore questions and answers can be edited like wiki pages by experienced users of this site in order to improve the overall quality of the knowledge base content. Such privileges are granted based on user karma level: you will be able to do the same once your karma gets high enough.

If this approach is not for you, please respect the community.
