  Participación eficaz de la sociedad civil en el desarrollo

  Las organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC) son actores clave del desarrollo y tienen aportes valiosos que ofrecer. Desempeñan diversas funciones —por ejemplo, en materia de asistencia humanitaria, prestación de servicios, investigación, formulación de políticas, así como asegurar la rendición de cuentas de parte de gobiernos y otros grupos involucrados— todo lo cual puede contribuir significativamente a alcanzar los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Se espera que las OSC desempeñen un papel esencial en la implementación y la supervisión de los ODS. Por consiguiente, es urgente que las OSC tengan una participación eficaz y significativa en los procesos de desarrollo. ¿Qué hace falta, entonces, para que las OSC puedan llevarlo a cabo? La presente Guía interactiva en línea ofrece algunas respuestas a esta pregunta. Tras haber completado los 5 módulos de la Guía interactiva en línea, los y las participantes serán capaces de realizar lo siguiente: • Describir los motivos de la necesidad de involucrar a la sociedad civil en los procesos de desarrollo. • Definir la eficacia del desarrollo y el entorno propicio para las OSC como elementos clave para asegurar la participación eficaz de las OSC en el desarrollo. • Recordar los compromisos internacionales con la eficacia del desarrollo y el entorno propicio para las OSC. • Distinguir las funciones y responsabilidades de los diversos actores del desarrollo para asegurar la participación de las OSC en el desarrollo eficaz. • Identificar las formas prácticas en que los gobiernos, los donantes y la sociedad civil pueden participar con el fin de crear un entorno propicio para las OSC y asegurar su eficacia del desarrollo. • Identificar buenas prácticas para lograr la eficacia del desarrollo y crear un entorno propicio para las OSC. • Señalar los beneficios que pueden derivar de la aplicación de buenas prácticas. • Traducir los compromisos internacionales y aplicarlos a su contexto. Metodología La Guía interactiva en línea consta de cinco módulos que fueron desarrollados teniendo en cuenta los objetivos generales de aprendizaje. Cada módulo empieza con un video de animación donde se presenta el tema y sigue con lecturas complementarias, ejemplos de buenas prácticas, reflexiones de expertos en la forma de entrevistas en video y una actividad en línea. Configuración de la guía interactiva Esta guía se basa, en su mayoría, en la Guía y buenas prácticas del Task Team, incluido el marco práctico de cuarto partes sobre la eficacia del desarrollo y el entorno propicio para las OSC. La guía interactiva aportará conocimientos a los y las participantes a través de los módulos, donde cada uno de ellos colabora con la creación de un entorno en el cual las OSC puedan contribuir significativa y eficazmente a la implementación y la supervisión de los procesos internacionales de desarrollo. En el módulo 1, se examinarán los compromisos relacionados con las OSC a los cuales se adhirió la comunidad internacional y se brindará una introducción a las cuatro formas en que estos pueden cumplirse. En el módulo 2, se estudiarán los medios para entablar un diálogo multisectorial eficaz, que constituye uno de los elementos del marco de cuatro partes para asegurar la participación eficaz de las OSC en el desarrollo. En el módulo 3, se analizará la responsabilidad que tienen las OSC de asegurar su eficacia, rendición de cuentas y transparencia en su funcionamiento diario. En el módulo 4, se ahondará en cómo los proveedores de la cooperación oficial al desarrollo pueden trabajar de manera eficaz con las OSC y para ellas. En el módulo 5, que es el último de esta guía interactiva, se estudiará cómo las normas y reglamentos de un país pueden determinar un entorno propicio para las OSC. Quienes hayan completado los 5 módulos recibirán un certificado entregado por el Task Team.
