  6. M&E and Learning Framework (contd …) • Our learning agenda: • Best practices in relation to programme implementation towards achieving our goal e.g. partnership; fundraising; working in consortium; working with the central and local government; community participation in all processes; sustaining Program/project benefits • Extreme poverty • The ‘Aid Industry’

  9. Some Challenges • Staff understanding • Staff practices and expectations (“where am I?”) • CARE talks “program”; do the CI members and donors? • “We will develop program and others will join”, what about the other way round? • Multiple demands on staff including those on PQ&L Team … our operating model • Not enough time / space and ‘reward’ for reflection • Current initiatives may contribute to the Satellite role; what else is needed as focused initiatives? • Impact group still broadly defined in several cases • Need to work more closely with Learning Labs and other Satellite COs within (and beyond) ECAR
