Adaptive Scope: Nine factors that influence the application and impact of adaptive programming, P.10.
As the world becomes more interconnected, the need for sustainable and effective development approaches has become increasingly important. One such approach is adaptive programming, which involves continuous learning, reflection, and adaptation in response to changing circumstances.
If you are interested in international development and the importance of adaptive programming, then you should check out “The Difference Learning Makes: Factors that Enable and Inhibit Adaptive Programming,” an insightful article by Christian Aid (CA) Ireland.
In this article, the authors discuss the factors that enable or inhibit adaptive programming in the context of international development. They argue that adaptive programming is essential for achieving sustainable and effective development outcomes and identify several factors that enable adaptive programming, including leadership and culture, flexibility and responsiveness, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity building.
However, the article also highlights factors that inhibit adaptive programming, such as incentives and accountability, risk aversion, external pressures, and technical complexity. By understanding these factors, organizations and practitioners can better promote learning and innovation in their development approaches.
At a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges such as climate change, global health crises, and economic inequality, it is more important than ever to embrace adaptive programming and promote continuous learning and adaptation.
If you are interested in learning more about adaptive programming and the factors that enable or inhibit it, we highly recommend reading this insightful article. Check it out and join the conversation about how we can promote sustainable and effective development outcomes through adaptive programming!
