Sharing what we are learning

We encourage measurement, learning and evaluation in partnerships to ensure investments fulfil their intent; succesful outcomes are amplified, scaled and sustained beyond their immediate reach; and gained knowledge is leveraged to strengthen the sector towards greater progress. This approach seeks to:
  • Influence action for people and planet.
  • Share evidence to strategically generate attention, advance thinking, influence public policy and compel others to action around priority areas.
  • Adaptively manage and course correct to maximize impact, influence, and scale of work in service to an equitable and sustainable future.
  • Hold each other accountable to stakeholders and commitments so that we enable effective decision-making, transparency, and responsibility, including around unintended consequences.
  • Contribute to the evidence base to substantiate the value proposition of the work, sharing learning of what is and is not working.
