In Case You Missed It 🌍 USAID's Commitment to Systems Practice USAID is excited to share the Local Systems Position Paper—a roadmap for turning systems thinking into actionable systems practice. This paper showcases how USAID partners with local systems to drive resilient, inclusive, and locally led development outcomes. Key takeaways: ✔️ Approaches to identify and work with local systems' capacities and foster collaboration. ✔️ Emphasis on humility, curiosity, and adaptive learning. ✔️ A vision for fostering sustainable progress through intentional systems practice. This is more than a policy—it’s a call to action for relational, learning-focused approaches to working with communities worldwide. 📖 Read the paper and join the journey: https://lnkd.in/gacFM9kG #SystemsPractice #LocallyLedDevelopment #Sustainability #USAID #DevelopmentInnovation

What is a Conflict Sensitivity Hub, and how are we using them to support our partners and donors?👇 ⚙️ The exact set-up of a Conflict Sensitivity Hub depends on the context, objectives and needs of partners. Often it functions as a one-stop shop combining the following: 🔹 Champions and promotes the benefits of conflict sensitivity across humanitarian, development and #peacebuilding interventions, policies and programmes 🔹 Helps organisations plan and implement them with conflict sensitivity in mind and, by doing so, achieve better outcomes 🔹 Develops an evidence base for what works and how 💪 It’s the go-to approach for organisations working in challenging environments! Depending on their unique needs, such a Hub can offer a full cycle of services from #research and analysis to mentoring. What is the added value? Conflict Sensitivity Hubs provide: ☑️ Knowledge and expertise to understand local realities and sensitivities ☑️ Actionable recommendations to address potential risks and better adapt aid projects to local contexts ☑️ Tools and resources to build skills for effective planning and programming ☑️ Mentoring and support to accompany project implementation at every stage ☑️ Community of practice to exchange experiences and share lessons learned with peers ☝️ By integrating #ConflictSensitivity, we enhance the positive impact of aid while minimizing unintended negative consequences. Our Conflict Hub is dedicated to supporting partners across sectors - from governments to NGOs - in navigating these challenges effectively. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eX_ApsaB

The Principles for Digital Development, which USAID played a key role in drafting back in 2014, serve as guidance to help donors and implementing partners integrate digital technology into development and humanitarian assistance programming. More than 250 organizations have endorsed the Principles, which codify decades of knowledge of what does and does not work in digital development. To maintain the Principles’ relevance over the next decade, the Digital Principles were recently updated to reflect the rapidly changing digital landscape and technology’s increasingly important role in society and the economy. Check out the new and improved Digital Principles at digitalprinciples.org and let us know how you plan to use them in the comments below ⬇️ #USAID #DigitalDevelopment #Digital

Resilience is at the core of successful Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) for development projects, especially in the dynamic West African context. In USAID-funded initiatives, like those focused on health, resilience means adapting MEL approaches in the face of challenges—whether it’s shifts in political environments, unexpected health crises, or logistical hurdles. It’s about ensuring that our systems not only measure impact effectively but also respond flexibly to support decision-making when circumstances change. For MEL to truly amplify the impact of USAID programs, we need systems that are not just designed for ideal conditions, but also for the unexpected. Building this resilience into MEL frameworks means that data-driven insights continue to inform actions, even when conditions get tough. #MEL #USAID #WestAfrica #Resilience #GlobalDevelopment #MonitoringEvaluationLearning #AdaptiveManagement

A year of significant achievements for the UNFPA evaluation function, driving evidence-based decisions, accountability and learning at UNFPA! Throughout the year, we pushed boundaries to make evaluation at UNFPA more agile, responsive and relevant. We were propelled forward by these frameworks 👇 📑UNFPA Evaluation Policy 2024 📋Multi-year costed evaluation plan 2024-2027 🧠Strategy for GenAI-powered evaluation at UNFPA Find all key documents that frame evaluation at UNFPA: https://lnkd.in/dfd2whFf To achieve next-level capacities in evaluations, we amplified the quality of evaluations with new resources 👇 ✅Evaluation Handbook 2024  ✅Guidance on humanitarian evaluations ✅Guidance on evaluation quality assurance and assessment ✅Leveraging the power of youth in evaluation: A practical guide to meaningfully engaging youth in evaluation processes ✅Costed evaluation plan: Guidance and template  ✅Adaptive evaluation resource pack Access all resources🔎https://lnkd.in/dqTudBXG

Dear UNFPA Independent Evaluation Office, It is truly commendable to see the strides made by the UNFPA evaluation function this year. The focus on evidence-based decision-making, accountability, and continuous learning is not only essential for effective programmatic implementation but also aligns with the broader goals of ensuring sustainable development and positive impact on global populations. The frameworks you’ve introduced, particularly the UNFPA Evaluation Policy 2024 and the Multi-year Costed Evaluation Plan 2024-2027, represent a forward-thinking approach to evaluation, one that considers both current needs and future sustainability. By integrating GenAI-powered evaluation, you are also positioning UNFPA at the cutting edge of utilizing innovative technologies to drive agility, responsiveness, and relevance in evaluation processes. This is particularly valuable in enhancing the robustness of evidence and the scalability of your findings. The newly released resources, including the Evaluation Handbook 2024 and the Guidance on Humanitarian Evaluations, are critical tools that will undoubtedly support both internal stakeholders and external partners in strengthening their evaluation capabilities. I’m particularly intrigued by the Youth Engagement in Evaluation Guide, which reflects a deep understanding of the importance of inclusivity in the evaluation process. Engaging youth meaningfully in evaluation can serve as a powerful mechanism for empowering the next generation of leaders while also ensuring that evaluations resonate with all segments of society. The combination of strategic frameworks, resources, and a commitment to adaptive evaluation practices sets an inspiring example for other organizations in the evaluation space. I am eager to see how these efforts will continue to shape the future of evaluations at UNFPA and contribute to achieving impactful, evidence-based results globally. Congratulations on these significant achievements, and I look forward to following your continued progress in elevating the evaluation function.
