Research on the Factors that Enable and Inhibit Adaptive Programming (Christian Aid Ireland)
“The Difference Learning Makes: Factors that Enable and Inhibit Adaptive Programming” is an article by Christian Aid Ireland that explores the factors that enable or inhibit adaptive programming in international development. It highlights the importance of adaptive programming for achieving sustainable and effective development outcomes and identifies key factors that promote or hinder it. With the world facing complex challenges, this article offers valuable insights for organizations and practitioners seeking to promote continuous learning and innovation in international development.”
Five things to consider when developing monitoring and evaluation systems for adaptive programmes
International development is slowly waking up to the realisation that existing programming frameworks, often driven by the need for accountability, due not hold true in sight of the true complexity of local dynamics and do not deliver neither for beneficiaries, nor implementing organisations, nor the donors themselves. The truth is: we often do not know the solution to an existing problem and, as such, it is difficult to predict if and how a project will work out. Enter adaptive programming, where we design, test and evaluate different programming strategies to find out what works (best).
