9 Multi-Actor (MA) Skills for Capacity Development
We created the 9 MA Skills Framework: a simple, ready to use checklist of nine skills your team needs to scuccesfully write, excute and deliver results in a European project with multi-actor as an eligibility criteria. This framework helps you quickly identify gaps in your team's skills to work in a multi-actor way as defined by the European Commission. We based it on official sources and experts reviewed it. It also helped us to categorise tools in the PREMIERE toolbox. While wielding MA skills, your project will be better focused on solutions relevant to practitioners’ contexts. Use the 9 MA Skills as an internal quality assurance tool. Check how your team members cover the 9 skills together, scored on a scale (see the Consortium Builder tool in the PREMIERE Toolbox for a template). The 9 skills are: 1. Able to work with a diversity of personal and professional backgrounds; 2. Able to recognize and work with the limitations of different organizations; 3. Able to communicate transparently about agenda's, expectations, and results; 4. Is comfortable with co-ownership and responsibility of tasks, results, and outcomes; 5. Experience with multi-actor methods or practical engagements. 6. Able to negotiate and defend the needs of both yourself and the consortium as a whole. 7. Able to work with diverse digital co-working tools. 8. Able to promote and maintain a safe, open, cohesive social culture; and 9. Supports the active participation of, and focus on end-users.
