SYNERGY….Collaborate…..Share….Scale Up!!
This year’s RI theme is “Unite for Good” and is synonymous to “SYNERGY in Rotary”
What is SYNERGY?
When Two or more clubs come together to execute a project, SYNERGY automatically evolves.
More the merrier. These clubs can share their resources
Resources types could be one or many.
Example: Funds / Project Ideas / Beneficiaries / Execution support /Monitoring support etc
Benefits of SYNERGY :
Each SYNERGY member club gets benefitted.
Planning BIGGER / BETTER & BOLDER projects becomes easy with SYNERGY.
SYNERGY Projects creates bigger IMPACT in communities
SYNERGY help create “Better Public Image” for Rotary
Some of the important examples of SYNERGY are
Global Grant SYNERGY
SYNERGY in different Avenues of Service: All seven focus Area
Joint Weekly Meeting by 2 or more Rotary Clubs – Ex : Shukranga
Joint Fund Raisers
Joint District Program Hosting
Joint Cultural Programs
Joint Sports Event
Joint Fellowship
SYNERGY in Global Grant
They are bigger / high value projects
Need Analysis / Monitoring and evaluation / Sustainability / Reporting
Require DDF / International Partner
Difficult for smaller clubs having limited financial resources.
Few Clubs in the District having above resources and experience can join hands with other smaller clubs to do GG project: Smaller clubs can contribute with their small DDF or Cash contribution / Project Ideas / Beneficiaries / Execution support /Monitoring support /
This will give satisfaction to small clubs for GG participation. They will also get trained and get confidence to do independent GG project
DGE Santosh and Global Grant Team is encouraging this SYNERGY.
