+ <h2 class="my-5">An Overview of Regional Foresight</h2>
|
|
|
+ <p>Foresight has a long history as a strategic management tool. It was employed initially in the development of
|
|
|
+ national
|
|
|
+ research agendas in countries like Japan. It was adopted by the European Commission with the establishment of a
|
|
|
+ Cellule Prospective and the FAST program for Forecasting and Assessment in Science and Technology, under
|
|
|
+ President
|
|
|
+ Jacques Delors. Over the years, the practice of Foresight has evolved beyond national and EU inputs to science
|
|
|
+ and
|
|
|
+ technology policy. It is now applied to a much broader range of issues related to economic and social
|
|
|
+ development,
|
|
|
+ at sectoral, regional, and sub-regional level. </p>
|
|
|
+ <p>Despite its emphasis on stakeholder engagement, the use of the term ‘foresight’ is often confused
|
|
|
+ with
|
|
|
+ future studies. Foresight practitioners often make the mistake of focusing exclusively on engagement with
|
|
|
+ stakeholders at grass roots level. This is unfortunate as it ignores the need for engagement with
|
|
|
+ ‘actors’, those who get things done. That means the people in politics or public administration who
|
|
|
+ hold
|
|
|
+ the purse strings, have the power to allocate budgets or mobilize finance, enact legislation, or design and
|
|
|
+ implement programs. Without effective engagement with such actors, reports stay on the shelf, the plans they
|
|
|
+ contain, however well drafted, never get carried out and the ’visions’ of communities never become
|
|
|
+ anything more than a dream. </p>
|
|
|
+ <p>Aware of these issues, the POLIRURAL project provided a framework for the execution of its 12 regional Foresight
|
|
|
+ initiatives, that include the following key elements.</p>
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li>Bottom-up activities where the leadership team works with policy beneficiaries</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Top-down activities where the leadership team works with those who make policy happen</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Production of timely and adequate content to support the work at every stage of the process</li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
|
|
|
+ <p> The overall process should produce a minimal set of documents including</p>
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li>A vision, which also describes the challenges to be addressed to achieve that vision</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>An action plan, with policy measures to address the challenges and their intervention logic</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>A roadmap which explains measure sequencing, funding, and assignment of responsibility! </li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
|
|
|
+ <p>Finally, we have asked all of the local leadership teams to measures intended to</p>
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+ <li>Secure endorsement of the vision and action plan by beneficiaries</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Secure adoption of the package by the actors who make policy happen</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Ensure the appointment of a monitoring committee to oversee implementation of the plan. </li>
|
|
|
+ </ul>
