An inFocus Learning Community brings together ‘like-minded’ organisations to exchange knowledge, share methods and results and map out both commonalities and differences in approaches.
Our learning webinars and live workshops bring together actors and organisations that work directly with beneficiaries, with evaluation and research experts specialising in the focal area. These are dedicated to particular thematic areas (e.g. gender equality, or disability) and can have a global, regional or local geographic focus, sometimes linked to a specific funder or network. In our Learning Community webinars and workshops, common challenges and solutions are shared, common indicators, outcomes and tools discussed and defined, with best practices to achieve these outcomes identified and documented.
We pride ourselves upon being able to then translate insights and learning into highly accessible and engaging materials, taking advantage of multi-media capabilities and tools, such as eLearning modules, online forums, meetings and webinars to disseminate knowledge across the field.
