Conclusion
Our first sub-Saharan Africa Learning Circles cohort—with over 200 people, who signed up to participate—demonstrated that FP/RH professionals crave opportunities for dialogue with their peers. In addition, our experience showed that virtual sharing of tacit knowledge in FP/RH programs is doable, desired, and need not be overly complicated or demanding. Our participants highly value the opportunity to simply meet, share, listen, and problem-solve with other FP peers—even if temporary and virtual. Ultimately, our first Learning Circles experience embodied collaboration and adaptability; it’s the only way to know we’re really learning.
We hope these lessons will be useful in guiding the development of future knowledge translation strategies in our global FP/RH community.
