Rationale of the learning publication
In the Girls Advocacy Alliance learning is an integral element of the alliance planning, monitoring and evaluation processes.
The learning agenda is built upon the core assumptions underlying the GAA Theory of Change.
Through continuous learning about the relevance and validity of these core assumptions, the GAA learning agenda helps to ensure that our understanding of the pathways of change remains relevant, clear and useful; and we continuously adjust and improve our strategies and actions in accordance to the generated learning.
In the Girls Advocacy Alliance Outline Programme Document ‘Advocating for Girls’ Rights. Equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women’ (August 2015) identified 10 core assumptions pertaining to the GAA Theory of Change.
These 10 assumptions can be clustered in three main issues: as the importance of social norms change for eliminating GBV and economic exclusion; the role of a strong civil society in ensuring policy and practice change for gender equality and the connectedness of gender based violence and economic exclusion.
Learning in the context of the GAA is not limited to research or documenting information, or to a particular stage in the PME cycle.
Learning also includes continuous reflection on what works, the creation of a ‘learning culture’ to promote exchange, and the introduction of new tools that facilitate learning, e.g. Basecamp.
Learning is addressed in every meeting. The focus of learning activities lies at the level of the joint programme components.
Alliance Programme Team organisations and partner CSOs use a variety of learning methods and actions to collect, analyse and value information on the key learning questions. #
These include expert meetings, research, literature review, Outcome
Harvesting sessions, Alliance Programme Team (monitoring and planning) meetings, interim programme reviews, reflections and exchanges with partner CSOs and other expert organisations, as well as meetings and surveys with girl panels.
Each Alliance Programme Team develops a learning calendar that indicates how the identified learning issues and related questions will be addressed.
Findings and progress of all learning activities undertaken will be discussed at least once a year by each Alliance Programme Team.
Alliance Programme Teams report on a yearly basis to the alliance desk on the progress of the learning agenda and its findings.
Strong and valid learning results has been translated into adjustments in programming during the past annual planning exercises.
