Learning Community

for Change

Empowering Across sectors

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to fostering growth and development across multiple levels - individual, organisational, and sectoral. We recognise that each actor within the ecosystem plays a vital role in driving positive change.

Individual

At the individual level, we provide personalised one-to-one support via coaching or mentoring, fostering connections with peers through collaborative forums and communities of practice, and providing access to formal learning opportunities such as training and workshops.

Organisation

At the organisational level, we collaborate with humanitarian and development organisations to enhance their overall effectiveness, resilience, and sustainability. This involves conducting assessments to understand unique challenges, developing and implementing tailored strategies for improved efficiency and effectiveness, and building strong leadership capabilities through coaching, mentoring and training. We guide organisations through change processes, provide a framework, tools and nurture ownership through a collaborative approach.

Sector

We conduct research to identify gaps and challenges and advocate for evidence-based policies and standards across the humanitarian and development sectors. We aspire to explore AI applications to revolutionise data analysis. We assess the impact of learning and development initiatives and use data to drive improvement across the professional development landscape. We develop and promote quality assurance mechanisms, support peer-to-peer learning and networking to facilitate development of communities of practice within and outside the sector.
