On June 4-5, 2013, Learning Lab hosted an online discussion (Lab Session) open to all USAID staff and implementing partners entitled, A CLA Dialogue: Missions and partners share experiences and best practices.
This multi-day online discussion between USAID staff and implementing partners introduced the CLA framework and provided examples of how USAID Missions and their partners are working to coordinate and collaborate, while continuously learning and adapting to change in order to increase the impact of USAID’s programs.
Participants explored emerging approaches and lessons learned from USAID Missions that are integrating CLA into their strategic plans, project designs, and implementation, and from implementing partners who have participated in longstanding learning networks and those just beginning to grapple with CLA integration in Mission programs.
In addition to the resources below, the sidebar includes resources shared by Lab Session participants during the two-day discussion, as well as a link to the CLA kick-off webinar, copies of the webinar presentations, and summaries of the daily Lab Session discussions.
