USAID Learning Lab website.

 

USAID’s Bureau for Policy, Planning and Learning’s Office of Learning, Evaluation and Research (PPL/LER) is pleased to announce USAID’s Learning Lab website! The new site consolidates LER’s previous learning initiatives (such as the Learning Lab Library and Strengthening Technical Practice), with expanded interactive features.
 
This is USAID’s online collaborative learning community of development professionals where USAID staff and partners jointly create, share, refine, and apply practical approaches in order to ground our programs in evidence and adapt quickly to new learning and changing contexts, maximizing development outcomes.
 
This platform was designed to make sharing knowledge easier and to ignite a culture of learning within the Agency. USAID’s Learning Lab is unique in that it provides a dynamic forum for both USAID staff and partners to:

  • Connect with a growing number of development practitioners using learning approaches
  • Contribute learning approaches, models, and resources
  • Access resources from the Learning Resources and Technical Resources libraries
  • Collaborate with colleagues through communities of practice
  • Participate in online discussion forums, Speakers Corners, and virtual Q&A sessions
  • Attend speaker series, seminars, and other events, both online or in-person
  • Watch videos and screencasts of past events, presentations, and interviews
  • Discover techniques for learning throughout USAID’s Program Cycle
  • Meet experts in the field of organizational learning and knowledge management
  • Learn why and how USAID leaders support the agenda to transform the Agency into a learning organization

Visit USAID’s Learning Lab, create your account, and start connecting with other development professionals now. Together, we can do development better!
