Learning Matters

By Learning Lab, May 2023

Note from the Learning Lab Team

It's that time of year again! Time to clean out the closets, get rid of the clutter, and make room for new things. In the spirit of Spring cleaning, we’ve done a refresh of the CLA Toolkit on Learning Lab.

The CLA Toolkit contains curated guidance and resources that help you integrate Collaborating, Learning and Adapting into your work. But like any good resource, it needs to be updated from time to time to reflect the latest thinking and best practices.

That's why we're excited to announce that we've made some changes. Updates include:

  • Reorganizing the CLA Toolkit clusters to mirror the CLA Framework
  • Creating a CLA Toolkit Index for those who want to see a comprehensive list of all Toolkit content, or who already know the name of the tool they're looking for

  • Aggregating and providing direct access to USAID official ADS Additional Help resources that speak to the integration of CLA practices across the Program Cycle

Be sure to check out the new and improved CLA Toolkit!
